Brown Bag Lectures are informal, public talks that are followed by extensive dissussions. Speakers are KLI fellows or visiting researchers who are interested in presenting their work to an interdisciplinary audience and discussing it in a wider research context. The Brown Bag Lecture series was discontinued in 2014 with the KLI moving to its new premises in Klosterneuburg. In 2014 the KLI Colloquia were established as the new lecture series.

Topic description:
This presentation will discuss the process of repeated invasion by only slightly differing mutants, and try to find out the underlying abstract geometrical patterns. By connecting several developments, it will show how the evolutionary analysis of so-called Adaptive Dynamics models (i.e., large systems where mutations are rare and of limited effect) can be handled in general, both theoretically and practically.
Biographical note:
Michel Durinx is a mathematical and theoretical biologist who did his PhD work ("Life Amidst Singularities") at Leiden University, the Netherlands, where he is associated with the Theoretical Biology Group.
