LAWRENCE Erik Van Vleck, professor of mathematics, along with his co-authors, was awarded the 2021 Robert P. McIntosh Award as the best nominated paper in vegetation ecology in the previous two years by the vegetation section of the Ecological Society of America.
The paper, titled “Dispersal limitations and fire feedbacks maintain mesic savannas in Madagascar,” appeared in the journal Ecology in 2020. The authors are Nikunj Goel, University of Texas; Van Vleck; Julie C. Aleman, University of Montreal; and A. Carla Staver, Yale University. Van Vleck’s main contribution to the paper was in the development of a stepping-stone model with dispersal barriers and the mathematical analysis of the impact of such barriers on wavelike solutions of bistable spatially discrete reaction diffusion equations.
