Kucuk, Hale. "Edward Albee'." Master's thesis, METU, 2008. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12610243/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
Edward Albee is influenced by the Absurd Drama of Samuel Beckett whose works involve existential concerns. Albee follows Beckett&rsquos traces in the dramatization of uncertainty, alienation and the question of freedom. Albee&rsquo
s characters do not have fixed identities, and they suffer from their identity problems. The notion of Other enhances this uncertainty. The ambiguity of existence, whether they really are or not, presents another problem for these characters. Their lives are based on illusions, and the line between the reality and fantasy is absent. Alienation of the human being from the self and the others is another existential theme that Albee deals with. Alienation is partly caused by lack of communication, and as a result, the isolated self is entrapped in his own condition. Freedom becomes a confusing question in his works as it makes the characters anxious while choosing one option among various others on his own, and as it renders the characters responsible for their free choices. So, the characters tend to be passive agents in life, which is in fact another choice. Albee extends Beckett&rsquo
s absurdist ideas and adopts the Absurd Drama to highlight his social concerns as he is also a social critic. The targets of his criticism are materialism, loss of values and broken human relationships. The playwright challenges the audience for a reform on these points.

Full textAbstract:
Figure patricienne incontournable du panorama de la création théâtrale, digne successeur d’Eugene O’Neill, de Tennessee Williams et d’Arthur Miller, Edward Albee (1928-2016) a insufflé une nouvelle vitalité au théâtre américain. Son œuvre iconoclaste, reçue avec ricanements, consternation ou enthousiasme, rejette l’existence d’une coupure entre la réalité, ses apparences, et l’imaginaire. Meneur de jeu imaginatif et provocateur, Albee cherche à produire un théâtre “réaliste” en abordant le problème des rapports entre apparences et réalité dans le théâtre du monde (Theatrum Mundi), sur le plan social (rôle et dimension humaine), logique (sens et non sens) et psychologique (raison et folie), ainsi que sur le plan de la représentation théâtrale (personnage et acteur). Cette étude explore, sous l’angle de la métaphore du jeu, les dernières pièces du dramaturge, riches en questionnements philosophiques, qui présentent le parcours initiatique du Sujet entre représentation et expérience, imaginaire et réalité. Du jeu au “je”, le personnage protéen, dans les coulisses du théâtre de l’intime, prépare son audition sur la scène du théâtre du monde. Empreinte de mystère, de poésie, de sagesse, de cocasserie ou de pathétique, l’aire de jeu inédite du dramaturge, où se prépare une expérience de vérité, déploie une vision humaniste optimiste qui ouvre in fine sur l’expérience esthétique de la catharsisA patrician key figure of the theatrical landscape, the worthy heir of Eugene O’Neill, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller, Edward Albee (1928-2017) has breathed new life into the American theatre. His iconoclastic body of work, which was met with sneering, dismay or enthusiasm, disproves the split between the real, its appearances and imagination. An imaginative, provocative playmaker, Albee aims at producing a “realistic” drama by tackling the problem of the links between appearances and reality in the Theatrum Mundi on various levels : social (role and human dimension), logical (meaning and absurdity), psychological (reason and madness), as well as on the level of performance (character and actor). Through the game metaphor, this study focuses on the playwright’s last plays, which are rife with philosophical interrogations and stage the Subject’s initiatory journey between representation and experience, imagination and reality. As a player, Albee’s protean character prepares backstage to audition for his role on the stage of the Theatrum Mundi. Imbued with mystery, poetry, wisdom, comicality and pathos, the playwright’s original playground, where an experience of truth is under way, brings forth an optimistic, humanistic vision that opens onto the aesthetic experience of catharsis

Full textAbstract:
The majority of what is currently known about the Albee Phase comes from mortuary sites, the largest of which is the Commissary site (12-Hn-2), located in Henry County, Indiana. Excavation methods at Commissary left burial context in question and the materials could not be used for research on mortuary patterns. Examination of the skeletal material and supporting documentation led to a determination of the relationship between the two grids utilized during excavation, which clarified burial context and allowed for a more complete description of mortuary patterns at the site. Analysis reaffirmed previous conclusions regarding demography, clarified burial composition, and generated new data on burial orientation. Comparisons of the Commissary site with four other Albee Phase mortuary sites and an Oliver phase site indicate that the sites share a mixture of characteristics and that, due to its immense size, the Commissary site remains a unique example of Albee Phase mortuary patterns.Department of Anthropology

Resumo: Considerado um dos títulos mais controversos e enigmáticos do teatro moderno norte-americano, Tiny Alice (1964-5) traz a jornada do lay brother Julian do início de seu envolvimento com Miss Alice, uma benfeitora que doará milhões para a Igreja Católica, até sua morte, um sacrifício à divindade Alice. Escrutinando as configurações da linguagem verbal e dos elementos simbólicos da peça, o presente trabalho propõe como motivos centrais da obra a demonstração da limitação da palavra para pavimentar a metafísica e a exposição da artificialidade irreversível das crenças religiosas. A despeito do tratamento questionador conferido ao verbo, retratado, pois, como ambíguo, ineficiente e falseador, Tiny Alice não o desacredita e nem tampouco o invalida como mecanismo de representação ou avaliação. Ao contrário, termina por afirmar seu poder elucidador. Em via análoga, embora sugira a impossibilidade da transcendência final dos microcosmos, permite que Julian, impulsionado pela verborragia, chegue ao macrocosmo. A investigação analisa também as personagens e suas motivações e movimentos para além do âmbito da palavra, segundo intertextualidades com sujeitos e circunstâncias de outras obras do cânone albeeano, tais como The Zoo Story (1959-60), Who¿s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962), Box / Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung (1968) e The Man Who Had Three Arms (1983). Por fim, confere importância fundamental ao monólogo final de Julian, não raro compreendido pela crítica como ilógico e absurdo. Conquanto repleto de autorreferencialidades instáveis, menções a eventos de temporalidades díspares, interlocutores distintos e empréstimos literários diversos, tal discurso é compreendido pelo estudo como plenamente coerente, revelador e eficiente na transmissão da argumentação geral da peça, e, ainda, na celebração do ofício literário
Abstract: Reputed as one of the most controversial and enigmatic works in modern North American theatre, Tiny Alice (1964-5) comprises lay brother Julian¿s journey from the beginning of his involvement with Miss Alice, a benefactor who will donate millions to the Catholic Church, to his death as a sacrifice to the divinity Alice. By examining both linguistic and symbolic configurations of the play, this study identifies as its central motives the demonstration of verbal language¿s restrictiveness to command metaphysics, and the exposure of religious beliefs¿ irrevocable artificiality. Notwithstanding the critical treatment consecrated to the linguistic system, depicted as ambiguous, inefficient and delusory, Tiny Alice neither discredits nor invalidates it as a mechanism for analysis and representation. In fact, the play affirms the clarifying power of verbal language. Similarly, although postulating the impossibility of transcendence in microcosms, it allows Julian to reach the macrocosm propelled by verbosity. This investigation also examines the characters and their motivations and actions outside the linguistic domain, according to intertextualities between the play and other titles from the albeean canon, such as The Zoo Story (1959-60), Who¿s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962), Box / Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung (1968) and The Man Who Had Three Arms (1983). Finally, it dedicates utmost importance to Julian¿s final monologue, frequently labeled as ilogical and absurd by critics. Replete with unstable self-reference, mentions of events based on dissimilar temporalities, different interlocutors and several literary borrowings, the final speech is nevertheless considered by the study as entirely coherent, revealing and efficient in showing the overall significance of the play, as well as in celebrating literary craft

Full textAbstract:
No prefácio da peça Three Tall Women, o dramaturgo norte-americano Edward Albee declara ter-se baseado em sua mãe adotiva para a composição de sua personagem. Por esse motivo, a crítica teatral norte-americana passou a considerar a peça simplesmente como uma autobiografia de seu autor. É fato que Edward Albee se utilizou de elementos de sua própria vida na obra, mas a peça não se restringe a isso: a autobiografia serviu de ferramenta para a realização de uma crítica contundente aos valores cultivados pela classe média alta norte-americana. Grande parte da crítica norte-americana, ao se referir à peça Three Tall Women, ressalta seu aspecto autobiográfico, mas não toca, de forma alguma, no aspecto de crítica à ideologia norte-americana presente na obra. Dessa forma, a presente dissertação propõe-se a identificar e analisar os elementos de crítica à sociedade norte-americana encontrados na peça Three Tall Women, por meio da análise dos diálogos de seus personagens. Finalmente, este trabalho também analisará a convergência entre a forma e o conteúdo nessa obra, ou seja, a forma mais adequada, escolhida pelo autor, para a exposição de determinado conteúdo.In the play Three Tall Women, the American playwright Edward Albee states that one of his characters is based on his adoptive mother. For this reason, American critics consider the play essentially an autobiography of its author. It is true that Edward Albee has used some elements of his life in his play, but Three Tall Women is not limited to that: Edward Albee\'s autobiography is like a tool for the crushing criticism concerning some values supported by the American high-middle class. A great part of the American critics emphasizes the autobiography element concerning the play Three Tall Women, but definitely they do not mention the aspect of criticism about the American ideology in the play. In this way, this paper aims to identify and to analyze the elements of criticism concerning the American society found in the play Three Tall Women through the characters dialogues. Finally, this paper also aims to analyze the convergence between form and theme; the most adequate form, chosen by the author, for the presentation of such theme.

O presente trabalho explora a questão da interdisciplinaridade e da transposição de obras literárias para o cinema. Focalizando a adaptação de textos dramáticos ao cinema, o estudo propõe em um primeiro momento uma investigação teórica sobre gênero ficcional mimético; drama, a partir da perspectiva do jogo dramático como elemento construtor do metadrama implícito e explícito; transtextualidade e cinema. Num segundo momento, a investigação analisa dois textos dramáticos, Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf? , de Edward Albee, e Closer , de Patrick Marber, e suas respectivas transposições para o cinema pelo diretor Mike Nichols, examinando os elementos e recursos que os autores utilizam para construir o jogo dramático. Posteriormente, realizase uma análise comparativa entre os textos dramáticos e entre suas adaptações cinematográficas, buscando pontos de contato e de afastamento entre as obras, priorizando elementos denotadores do jogo dramático, além de características transtextuais que possibilitam a manutenção ou a alteração de significados entre os textos dramáticos e seus respectivos filmes.This paper explores interdisciplinary aspects related to the transposition of dramatic texts into films. First, a theoretical investigation is conducted on mimetic genre, transtextuality; on drama, from the point of view of the game as a dramatic element to build implicit and explicit metadrama, and film adaptation. Secondly, this dissertation analyzes two plays, Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? , by Edward Albee, and Closer , by Patrick Marber, as well as their film adaptations by director Mike Nichols, and examines the elements and features that the authors use to create the dramatic games. Later, the plays and their film adaptations are contrasted in order to investigate elements of dramatic games, and transtextual characteristics that allow the maintenance or the alteration of meaning between the plays and their correspondent films.

Full textAbstract:
Since its publication and first performance, Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, has often been interpreted with regard to the theme of truth and illusion. A less studied, but nonetheless important, aspect of the drama concerns its relation to C. P. Snow’s concept of the two cultures. In this essay, I argue for the convergence of these two discussions, resulting in an epistemological understanding of Albee. From this mode of interpretation, not only is a rejection of the two cultures noticed, but also a dramatic movement towards a third culture. Thus, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is treated as an epistemological drama of ideas.

Full textAbstract:
An Anatomy of Sacrifice in Plays by Edward Albee and Michel Marc Bouchard analyses the potential interpretations and intelligibility of sacrifices performed in a modern, secular context. The guiding question of this work has been how to interpret the apparent gestures of sacrifice presented inside dramas and as semiotic representations of sacrifice before an audience. The confirmed hypothesis of this study is that the central sacrifice presented in each play is intelligible to the degree that it implies a sense of a religious or sacred code. The dramas of the corpus include The Zoo Story and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee, as well as Les feluettes ou la répétition d'un drame romantique and L'histoire de l'oie by Michel Marc Bouchard. Although neither Bouchard nor Albee is known for being explicitly religious, the analysis of the plays of the corpus demonstrates the significance of their frequent use of images or motifs of sacrifice. The thesis also provides research into the history of sacrifice and reflection on related theories by scholars such as Terry Eagleton, P. Bottinelli and Georges Bataille. The work concludes that sacrifice in each of the dramas is a means of exchange wherein a precious or cherished object is surrendered in favour of a higher value which, while remaining ultimately indeterminate, through the performance of the sacrifice takes on an aura of the sacred.

As a screenwriter with a particular interest in black comedy, my aim is to explore the technical structures of black comedy in order to facilitate the writing of a tragicomic screenplay. We will attempt to define the components of black comedy and survey its origin in theatre and literature. The exegesis will aim to explore what components comprise the middle ground between drama and humour and position it in relation to the classical genres of tragedy and comedy. The exegesis will also aim to examine the function of black comedy in relation to the psychology of the protagonist and the audience, as well as defining the characteristics of the genre in the context of Screenwriting. The exegesis will observe the film adaptation of the renowned play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? as a case study. The research will inform the writing of the feature length screenplay entitled The Actions.

s The Lesson and Sarah Kane&rsquo
s Blasted. To illustrate the idea of dislocation in the plays mentioned, this dissertation primarily concentrates on the theoretical backgound of two distinctive themes
power and alienation. After this, the idea of violence and language are examined in relation to the development of power and alienation. The thesis then provides brief information about the absurdist tradition to which the plays The Zoo Story and The Lesson belong. After the analysis of the dislocation of power and alienation with the use of dramatic violence in these two plays, it presents brief information about &ldquo
in-yer-face&rdquo
theatre and the paralellism between this theatre and the absurd tradition. Finally, the idea of dislocation of power and alienation in Blasted, which belongs to a later period, is illustrated to show the actuality of the theme violence and its effects in Western drama.

Full textAbstract:
L'étude des oeuvres des trois auteurs du corpus (Edward Albee, David Mamet et Sam Shepard) a permis de mettre en lumière un paradoxe essentiel de la création artistique et en particulier littéraire du vingtième siècle. En abdiquant l'idéal romantique de l'originalité et en retravaillant les phénomènes de ressassement et de répétition contenus dans la langue, et plus généralement, dans la société américaine, les trois dramaturges ont élaboré un langage fondamentalement original et originel. Bien qu'il permette de constater les crises et les dysfonctionnements de cette langue théâtrale résolument américaine, le cliché se pose également comme tentative de renouvellement du sens. Les pièces des trois auteurs utilisent ainsi le cliché comme matériau dramatique privilégié et proposent une véritable poétique du cliché établie sur la base du banal et du déjà-ditThis study of Edward Albee, David Mamet and Sam Shepard has enabled us to emphasize one of the most essential paradox in contemporary artistic and literary creation. Indeed, the three playwrights have built up a highly original language while precisely giving up the Romantic ideal of originality. Based on repetitions and on hackneyed elements, the plays develop their own structures around the notion of cliché. Although the cliché may appear as a sign of the failure and of the dysfunctioning nature of this typical American dramatic language, it can also work the other way round and become a device that produces meaning. Thus, the aesthetics of these plays is one that revolves around the concepts of banality and déjà-vu: a real poetics of the cliché

(1962) de Edward Albee. Os construtores Cipriano Algor, Martha e George produzem identidades baseadas em ilusões, de modo a evitar o confronto com a verdade acerca das suas próprias realidades. Cipriano é confrontado com a extinção do trabalho artesanal na sociedade cada vez mais industrializada. A substituição inevitável de tais tipos de trabalhos pelos novos aparelhos tecnológicos e o aparecimento de materiais diferentes e resistentes funcionam como causas da inadaptação de Cipriano na nova realidade simbolizado pelo centro comercial. Martha e George criam a ilusão de um filho que representa a perfeição na relação entre o casal. No ambiente académico, o sucesso intelectual deve ser acompanhado de um casamento irrepreensível. Os espaços onde estas personagens constroem identidades, ilustram a necessidade de encontrar novos códigos e linguagens para comunicar consigo mesmos e compreender a verdade. Tal como explica o filósofo alemão, Peter Sloterdijk, no segundo tomo da sua trilogia Esferas (2004), estes espaços são “invernadouros”, onde Cipriano, Martha e George encontram tudo aquilo que necessitam para criar ilusões e ocultar a verdade. No respeitante aos “invernadouros”, a Alegoria da Caverna serve como fonte fundamental para analisar o centro comercial e o enclausuramento dos que aí vivem. No final, o oleiro sente-se como um prisioneiro na caverna de Platão durante a estadia no novo apartamento,. Crátilo de Platão serve como suporte teórico relevante para explicar o papel da atribuição de nomes às identidades no processo de construção. Desse modo, os construtores associam as identidades com as realidades que estas representam. Em conclusão, estas identidades revelam a inevitabilidade do confronto com a verdade e o processo de desconstrução torna-se não só previsível, mas igualmente, necessário para o futuro das personagens nas suas novas realidades.

Full textAbstract:
Albee, genet, ionesco et pinter appartiennent au theatre de l'absurde. Notre but etait donc d'etablir certaines affinites entre ces dramaturges afin de justifier leur classement dans ce genre dramatique et ensuite d'essayer de trouver une definition du terme absurde, outre celle liee a la metaphysique, ainsi, nous avons constate que l'une des caracteristiques de l'inconscient reside dans sa tendance a deformer les images de la "realite", c'est-a-dire a les rendre "grotesques" ou "absurdes". Les techniques dramatiques qu'emploient ces quatre auteurs sont axees sur la traduction sur scene de ce phenomene. Le theatre de l'absurde ne peut etre considere comme une forme dramatique consacree uniquement a l'angoisse metaphysique mais plus generalement comme un "theatre de l'inconscient" qui met en valeur toutes les angoisses et illusions de l'homme. Quelques theories de freud, de r. D. Laing, de s. Nacht, et de sartre servent de points de depart a un certain nombre de themes choisis. Aussi, avons-nous etabli un lien entre la vie de l'auteur et son oeuvre. Le premier chapitre -identite - se divise en 1) integration dans le groupe, 2) rejet par le groupe et 3) le rituel et la collusion (selon la definition de laing). Nous examinons la psychologie collective a tous ces niveaux : l'esprit gre- gaire, la fonction du chef et les differents types de groupes : la famille, les gran- des masses (nationales, ethniques, politiques, religieuses. . . ), les classes sociales (bourgeoises, proletaires. . . ) et les groupes sociaux tres divers (amis; criminels; homosexuels; artistes; intellectuels. . . ). Le second et dernier chapitre (sexualite) etudie le rapport pere mere enfant, la cas- tration, l'homosexualite, le masochisme et l'impuissance (de l'homme enfant, de l'homme age et celle manifestee par une agression envers les femmes, ou par une im- puissance intellectuelle ou creative)Albee, genet, ionesco and pinter belong to the theatre of the absurd. Our objective was therefore to establish certain affinities between these playwrights in order to justify their classification in this form of drama and then to try and find a definition for the word "absurd", other than the one related to metaphysics. We pointed out that one of the characteristics of the subconcious is its tendency to deform images of "reality", that is to make them "grotesque" or "absurd". The dramatic techniques used by our four authors are centred round the rendering of this phenomenon onto the stage. The theatre of the absurd should not be considered as a dramatic form devoted only to metaphysical anguish but more broadly as a "theatre of the subconcious" highlighting all of man's anguishes and illusions. Several theories taken from freud, r. D. Laing, s. Nacht, and sartre have been used as starting points for a certain number of the chosen themes. We also established a relationship between each author's life and his works. The first chapter - identity - is divided into 1) integration into the group, 2) rejection by the group, and3) ritual and collusion (as defined by laing). We examined group psychology at every level : the gregarious instinct, the leader's role, as well as various types of groups : the family, large "masses" (e. G. Natio- nal, ethnic, political, and religious), social classes (middle, working classes. . . ). And various forms of social groups (friends, criminals, homosexuals, artists, intellectuals. . . ). The second and final chapter (sexuality) studies the father mother child relation- ship ; castration ; homosexuality ; masochism ; and impotence (as a result of elderliness or of remnants of childish traits in man, as well as that expressed by aggressiveness towards women or by an intellectual or creative "impotence"

Previous issue date: 2014-03-25The empirical evidence that intraspecic cooperation - denoted as Allee efeect - can play the role of an additional factor in the regulation of population dynamics alongside with intraspecic competition has generated a new contingent of population dynamical models. In this work one analyzes population dynamical models under the Allee eect in the following contexts: (i) unstructured and structured single population both in discrete and continuous time settings (ii)unstructured multispecies systems such as, predation, interspecic interference competition and interspecic exploitative competition for a biotic resource. An outstanding outcome that is present in most models concerns the existence of multiple stable equilibrium points, implying that the ultimate convergence will depend on initial conditions. In a one-species setting, these multiple stable states can represent population persistence or deterministic extinction. Likewise, in the multispecies setting, they can represent: (i) overall species coexistence (ii) extinction of a subset of the overall species (iii) overall species extinction. Therefore, in areas of applied ecology such as pest control and conservation, these results bring out the need for precise species parameter estimates as well as stock assessment in order to achieve their predened goals.
A constatação empirica de que a cooperação intraespecifica - denominada efeito Allee - pode atuar como um fator adicional de regulação populacional em concomitancia com a competição intraespecifica gerou um novo contingente de modelos de dinamica de populações. Neste trabalho analisam-se alguns modelos com efeito Allee nos seguintes contextos: (i) uma unica especie a tempo continuo e discreto, onde em cada instancia supoe-se uma populaçãoo nao estruturada e outra estruturada por estagios de ciclo de vida (ii) especies interativas sem estrutura de estagio, considerando-se as seguintes interações trocas: predação, competição por interferencia e competição por um recurso biotico por exploração. Um resultado que permeia a maior parte dos modelos analisados e a multiplicidade de pontos de equilibrio, cuja convergencia depende das condições iniciais. No caso de uma população esses estados de equilibrio podem representar a persistencia da especie e/ou sua exclusao. De forma similar, no caso de varias populações, eles podem representar: (i) a coexistencia de todas as populações (ii) a extinção de um subconjunto destas (ii) a extinção de todas as populações. Portanto, em areas de ecologia aplicada como controle de pragas e conservação de especies, estes resultados apontam para a necessidade de estimativas precisas de parametros intrinsecos as especies envolvidas bem como estimativas precisas de tamanhos populacionais.

Full textAbstract:
A dinâmica de crescimento populacional de uma espécie é permeada pela relação entre as desvantagens da competição intraespecífica e os benefícios da presença de conspecíficos. Para muitas espécies, os benefícios da cooperação podem superar as desvantagens da competição. A correlação positiva entre tamanho populacional e adaptabilidade em populações muito pequenas é conhecida como efeito Allee demográfico. Apesar de haver modelos matemáticos isolados para os diferentes tipos de efeitos Allee, não há um modelo simples que os abranja e os conecte a modelos de crescimento mais gerais (como o de Richards). Propomos unificar modelos de efeitos Allee e o de crescimento de Richards em um modelo que permita um novo ponto de vista sobre o efeito Allee demográfico. Um exemplo do aumento das possibilidades descritivas de tal generalização é a emergência de mais de uma transição cooperação-competição quando considerado um caso particular desse novo modelo (Allee-Gompertz). Apesar da importância do crescimento populacional, a maioria dos modelos básicos de transmissão de doenças infecciosas considera o tamanho populacional constante ou adota simplificações pouco plausíveis. Nesta tese, mostramos as deficiências de um modelo compartimental dinâmico de tuberculose já consagrado e propomos um novo modelo com crescimento populacional logístico. Quando comparados, nosso modelo apresenta previsões mais pessimistas para a erradicação da doença a longo prazo quando testado com parâmetros que definem políticas de controle pouco eficientes. Realizamos tais predições adotando estratégias de controle de países desenvolvidos e subdesenvolvidos. Visto que esses modelos compartimentais desprezam aspectos espaciais, desenvolvemos uma modelagem computacional de agentes, baseada no modelo proposto, com duas estruturas subjacentes: redes aleatórias e redes reais. A súbita emergência de tuberculose resistente a drogas como consequência de tratamentos ineficazes é também um resultado das implementações desses modelos em dois cenários distintos. Esses resultados são comparados com os do modelo compartimental e com os de um modelo de estrutura subjacente mais simples e, como novo resultado, surge nos dois modelos a possibilidade de erradicação da doença em menos de uma década após o início do tratamento. Esse resultado é possível desde que sejam adotadas estratégias eficientes de controle.The one-species population growth dynamics is permeated by the relationship between the harms from the intraspecific competition and the benefits from the presence of conspecifics. For many species, the benefits from conspecific cooperation may outweigh the harms from competition. The positive correlation between population size and total fitness in very small population known as demographic Allee effect. Although there are isolated mathematical models for different types of Allee effects, there is not a simple model that covers and connects them to more general growth models (like Richards). We propose to unify models of Allee effects and the Richards growth one in a model that allows a new perspective on the demographic Allee effect. An example of the increased descriptive possibilities of such generalization is the emergence of more than one transition cooperation-competition when considering a particular case of this new model (Gompertz-Allee). Despite the importance of population growth, most basic models of infectious diseases transmission considers population size constant or adopts implausible simplifications. In this thesis, we show the shortcomings of a dynamic compartmental model of tuberculosis already established and we propose a new model with population logistic growth. When compared, our model provides more pessimistic forecasts for the eradication of the disease in the long term if it is tested with parameters that define inefficient control policies. We perform such predictions adopting control strategies from developed and underdeveloped countries. Since these compartmental model disregards spatial aspects, we developed a computational agent model, based on the proposed model, with two underlying structures: random networks and real networks. The sudden emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis as a result of ineffective treatments is also a result from the implementations of these models in two distinct scenarios. These results are compared with the ones from a compartimental model and with the ones from a model with simpler underlying structure and, as a new result, the possibility of eradicating the disease in less than a decade after beginning the treatment appears on the two models. This result is possible adopting effective control strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Allee effects occur when fitness suffers at low population size or density. This can lead to reduced population growth rate and a critical density below which extinction occurs. Allee effects can occur in reproduction or survival. Critical densities are higher in reproductive Allee effects than in juvenile survival Allee effects, making reproductive Allee effects more severe (higher extinction probability). In terms of the critical Allee effect threshold, reproductive Allee effects are more severe in r-selected populations, while juvenile survival Allee effects are more severe in K-selected populations. For populations with negative density dependence, there is a maximum critical Allee threshold, above which a population of any density goes extinct. Critical thresholds are altered by changes in mortality, such that Allee effects can interact with exploitation to cause non-linear population collapse. Adding two Allee effects together has unpredictable consequences depending on the life history. Adding negative density dependence makes Allee effects more severe. I tested Allee effects in the field in the queen conch Strombus gigas, a marine gastropod. Mating and egg production are reduced in low-density areas. This could be due to low encounter rates, habitat quality or ontogenetic differences. to distinguish between these hypotheses, mature conch were translocated between high and low density sites. Conch were at equal high density in all enclosures, but high source-site density produced higher reproductive activity. Conch from high-density source sites also had thicker shell lips, indicating that they were older. These data reject the hypothesis of an Allee effect; possibly reproduction is delayed after morphological maturity. In model simulations, a reproductive Allee effect and delayed reproduction could both produce non-linear population collapse. I show that predators can generate an Allee effect in prey if they have a Type II functional response and the aggregative or numerical response is not Type III (or vice versa). A literature review reveals several unrecognised examples of predation-driven Allee effects from the literature. This mechanism for Allee effects does not arise from the specifics of prey life history, which makes it difficult to predict and prepare for.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s'intéresse à l'étude des stratégies d'introduction de populations dans l'environnement. Les deux principaux contextes présentés sont la lutte biologique et la réintroduction d'espèces. Si ces deux types d'introduction diffèrent, des processus biotiques et abiotiques les influencent de manière similaire. En particulier les populations introduites, souvent de petite taille, peuvent être sensibles à diverses formes de stochasticité, voire subir une baisse de leur taux de croissance à faible effectif, ce qu'on appelle « effet Allee ». Ces processus peuvent interagir avec les stratégies d'introduction des organismes et moduler leur efficacité. Dans un premier temps, nous modélisons le processus d'introduction à l'aide de systèmes dynamiques impulsionnels : la dynamique de la population est décrite par des équations différentielles ordinaires qui, à des instants donnés, sont perturbées par des augmentations soudaines de la taille de la population. Cette approche se concentre sur l'influence des effets Allee sur les populations isolées (réintroduction) ou dans un cadre proie-prédateur (lutte biologique). Dans un second temps, en nous concentrant sur l'aspect réintroduction, nous étendons ce cadre de modélisation pour prendre en compte des aspects stochastiques liés à l'environnement ou aux introductions elles-mêmes. Finalement, nous considérons un modèle individu centré pour étudier l'effet de la stochasticité démographique inhérente aux petites populations. Ces différentes approches permettent d'analyser l'influence de la distribution temporelle des introductions et ainsi déterminer les stratégies qui maximisent les chances de succès des introductionsThis thesis investigates introduction strategies of populations in the environment. Two main situations are considered: biological control and species reintroduction. Although these two kinds of introductions are different, many biotic and abiotic processes influence them in a similar way. Introduced populations are often small and may be sensitive to various stochastic factors. Further, small populations may suffer from a decrease of their growth rate when the population is small, a feature called "Allee effect". These processes may interact with introduction strategies and modulate their efficiency. First, we represent the introduction process using impulsive dynamical systems: population dynamics are described by ordinary differential equations that are disrupted at some instants by instantaneous increases of the population size. This approach focuses on the influence of Allee effects on single-species (reintroduction) or predator-prey interactions (biological control). Then, we concentrate on the reintroduction approach and extend the previous deterministic framework to take into consideration stochastic factors arising from the environment or from introductions themselves. Finally, we consider an individual-based model to study the effects of demographic stochasticity which is inherent to small populations. These different approaches allow to investigate the temporal distribution of introductions and determine which introduction strategies maximize the probability of success of introductions

Introduzimos o efeito Allee através de uma função de probabilidade que depende da densidade local de plantas. Analisa-se o comportamento da expansão da planta, e estima-se a velocidade média de expansão. O modelo mostra uma invasão através de pulsos, que atribuímos ao efeito Allee e ao comportamento de dispersão da planta
Abstract: We present an integro-difference model for a plant dispersal, which couples a reproductive dynamic with Allee effect and dispersal dynamic in a heterogeneous environment. We propose diffusion and settling model to derive theoretical dispersal kernels that represent the seed dispersal pattern generated by frugivores birds in a heterogeneous environment. The dispersal kernel derived through the model is able to reproduce the aggregate seed dispersal pattern generated by the frugivores birds under field conditions. As for the reproductive dynamic, we consider an Allee effect due to pollen limitation, which reduces seed production. We introduce the Allee effect through a probability function, which depends on the local plant density. The plant expansion behavior is analyzed, and the average expansion speed is estimated. The model shows a pulsed invasion, which we attribute to the Allee effect and the plant dispersal behavior

Resumo: Proponemos um modelo matemático para uma planta invasora, que acopla a dinâmica de reproduão com Efeito Allee e a dispersão de longa distância de uma planta invasora. Consideramos um efeito Allee devido à limitação de pólen, que reduz a produção de sementes. Introduzimos o efeito Allee através de uma função de probabilidade de encontro pólen-estigma que depende da densidade de plantas. Para a modelagem do processo de dispersão utilizamos equações íntegrorecursiva (IRE) tomando um núcleo de dispersão misto, que representa a dispesão local e a longa distância. Analisamos a dinâmica local do modelo determinando os pontos de equilíbrio e as suas estabilidades, para então analisar o processo de dispersão. Analisamos o modelo de dispersão por meio de simulação numérica, o que permitiu observar o deslocamento espacial da frente da invasão. Isto permitiu calcular a velocidade de expansão. Determinamos a inuência do efeito Allee, da capacidade reprodutiva e da dispersão de longa distância sobre a velocidade de expansão. Observamos que o efeito Allee torna velocidades aceleradas em velocidades constantes de expansão. A velocidade de expansão decresce com o aumento na intensidade do efeito Allee, mas aumenta com a capacidade reprodutiva. A dispersão de longa distância gera maiores velocidades de expansão, embora para fortes intensidades do efeito Allee o acréscimo na velocidade não é signifícativo em relação à velocidade gerada pela dispersão local. Os resultados mostram que apesar da dispersão contribuir ao aumento na velocidade de expansão, a dispersão também torna a população mais suscetável á extinção.
Abstract: We present a mathematical model which couples the reproductive dynamic with an Allee effect and a long distance diseprsal of an invasive plant. We consider an Allee effect due to pollen limitation, which reduces seed production. We introduce the Allee effect through a probability function that describes pollen-stigma encounters as function of the population density. To model the dispersal process we used integro-diference equations (IDE) and employed a mixed kernel which represents the local and long distance dispersal processes. We analyzed the local dynamic through the stability of their equilibrium points. For the spatial dynamic we used numerical simulations, that allowed us to observe the spatial displacement of the invasion front. This permitted us to compute the expansion speeds. We determined the inuence of the Allee effect, reproductive capacity and the long distance diseprsal on the invasion speeds. We observed than an Allee effect turns accelerating expansion speeds into constant speeds. Expansion speeds decreases with Allee effect intensity but increases with the reproductive capacity of the population. Long distance dispersal produces higher invasion speeds, but for strong intensities of the Allee effect, the increase is not significant in relation to the speeds generated by the local dispersal. Our results show that while dispersal contributes to expansion speeds, it also turns the population more susceptible to extinction.

Full textAbstract:
Mosquitoes are vectors for many diseases that cause significant mortality and morbidity across the globe such as malaria, dengue fever and Zika. As mosquito populations expand their range into new areas, they may undergo mate-finding Allee effects such that their ability to successfully reproduce becomes difficult at low population densities. With new technology, creating target specific gene modification may now be a viable method for mosquito population control. We develop a mathematical model to investigate the effects of releasing transgenic mosquitoes into newly established low-density mosquito populations. Our model consists of two life stages (aquatic and adult), which are further divided into three genetically distinct groups: heterogeneous and homogeneous transgenic alleles that cause female infertility and a homogeneous wild type. We perform analytical and numerical analyses on the equilibria to determine the level of saturation needed to eliminate mosquitoes in a given area. This model demonstrates the potential for a gene drive system to reduce the spread of invading mosquito populations.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Density-dependence is considered one of the most important regulators of population growth, and it has been documented across a wide variety of species. Typically, population growth rate and components thereof decline with increasing density (i.e., negative density-dependence); however, in species that exhibit high population densities and social behavior, positive density-dependence (i.e., Allee effect) may occur at low density. June sucker, a federally endangered lake sucker endemic to Utah Lake, Utah, USA, occurred historically at high density, and it exhibits coordinated feeding behavior. These characteristics indicate a potential for the existence of an Allee effect at current low population densities. To determine effects of density on growth, survival, and diet, I experimentally manipulated density of young June sucker in replicated enclosures in a natural environment. Larval June sucker were placed in enclosures at four different densities, and growth, survival, and diet of fish, and availability of prey (to determine selectivity) were measured at two time intervals. Both individual growth and survival were significantly lower at the lowest density compared to higher densities, indicative of a component Allee effect. Diets of individuals at low densities were more selective than diets of individuals at intermediate and high densities, suggesting a change in feeding strategy with density. Reduced growth and survival at low density suggests that corresponding, highly selective, feeding strategies may be less efficient than feeding strategies employed at higher densities. Allee effects appear to be an important consideration for recovery of this endangered species, and such effects may be common in historically abundant, but currently rare species.
