The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded the University of Texas at Austin $250,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop novel mathematical models and analytical tools for understanding how competing structured populations coexist in nature. The research addresses a fundamental problem in theoretical ecology: the mechanisms enabling competing species to coexist despite their apparent ecological similarity. The project develops mathematical and computational techniques to analyze models that incorporate population structure—including size structure, age structure, and patch-age structure resulting from environmental disturbances. The investigators apply these analytical tools to delineate niche differentiation mechanisms that govern how competing individuals interact for resources such as light, nutrients, and water. Work is performed in Austin, Texas, with a period of performance through August 31, 2029.
