Organisms adapt to fluctuating environments by regulating their dynamics, and by adjusting their phenotypes to environmental changes. We model population growth using multitype branching processes in random environments, where the offspring distribution of some organism having trait t ∈ T in environment e ∈ E is given by some (fixed) distribution...

Polygon spaces such as $ M_{\ell} = \{ (u_{1,\ldots,} u_{n})\; \epsilon \; S^{1}\times \ldots S^{1}, \sum \nolimits^{n}_{i=1}\;l_{i}u_{i} = 0 \}/SO(2) $, or the three-dimensional analogs Nℓ play an important rle in geometry and topology, and are also of interest in robotics where the li model the lengths of robot arms. When n is large, one can assume that each li is a positive real valued...
