Problem
In the fictional television series Game of Thrones, based on the series of epic fantasy novels A Song of Ice and Fire[1], three dragons are raised by Daenerys Targaryen, the “Mother of Dragons.” When hatched, the dragons are small, roughly 10 kg, and after a year grow to roughly 30-40 kg. They continue to grow throughout their life depending on the conditions and amount of food available to them.
For the purposes of this problem, consider these three fictional dragons are living today. Assume that the basic biology of dragons described above is accurate. You will need to make some additional assumptions about dragons that might include, for example, that dragons are able to fly great distances, breath fire, and resist tremendous trauma. As you address the problem requirements, it should be clear how your assumptions are related to the physical constraints of the functions, size, diet, changes, or other characteristics associated with the animals.
Your team is assigned to analyze dragon characteristics, behavior, habits, diet, and interaction with their environment. To do so, you will have to consider many questions. At a minimum, address the following: What is the ecological impact and requirements of the dragons? What are the energy expenditures of the dragons, and what are their caloric intake requirements? How much area is required to support the three dragons? How large a community is necessary to support a dragon for varying levels of assistance that can be provided to the dragons? Be clear about what factors you are considering when addressing these questions.
As with other animals that migrate, dragons might travel to different regions of the world with very different climates. How important are the climate conditions to your analysis? For example, would moving a dragon between an arid region, a warm temperate region, and an arctic region make a big difference in the resources required to maintain and grow a dragon?
Once your dragon analysis is complete, draft a two-page letter to the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R.R. Martin, to provide guidance about how to maintain the realistic ecological underpinning of the story, especially with respect to the movement of dragons from arid regions to temperate regions and to arctic regions.
While your dragon analysis does not directly apply to a real physical situation, the mathematical modeling itself makes use of many realistic features used in modeling a situation. Aside from the modeling activities themselves, describe and discuss a situation outside of the realm of fictional dragons that your modeling efforts might help inform and provide insight?
Your submission should consist of:
● One-page Summary Sheet,
● Two-page letter,
● Your solution of no more than 20 pages, for a maximum of 23 pages with your summary and letter.
● Note: Reference list and any appendices do not count toward the 23-page limit and should appear after your completed solution.
NOTE: You should not make use of unauthorized images and materials whose use is restricted by copyright laws. Please be careful in how you use and cite the sources for your ideas and the materials used in your report.

题目背景
在基于史诗奇幻小说《冰与火之歌》[1]改编的虚构电视剧《权力的游戏》中,丹妮莉丝·坦格利安(“龙母”)饲养了三条龙。这些龙孵化时体型很小,大约只有10公斤;一年后可长到30-40公斤左右。此后,它们会在一生中持续生长,生长速度取决于所处环境和食物供应量。
在本题目中,请将这三条虚构的龙设定为生活在当今世界。假设上述关于龙的基本生物学特性是准确的。你需要对龙做出一些额外假设,例如它们能够远距离飞行、喷火并能抵抗严重创伤等。在回答问题的过程中,需要明确你的这些假设是如何与龙的功能、体型、饮食、变化或其他特性在物理层面相匹配的。
你的团队被指定分析龙的特征、行为、习性、饮食以及它们与环境的互动。为此,你需要考虑许多问题。至少应回答以下内容:
和其他会迁徙的动物一样,龙可能会前往地球上不同的地区,而这些地区的气候可能截然不同。气候条件在你的分析中有多重要?例如,将龙从干旱地区搬到温暖的温带地区,或者极地地区,在维持与培养龙所需的资源方面会有多大的差异?
在完成龙的分析后,请写一封两页的信给《冰与火之歌》的作者乔治·R·R·马丁,为他在故事中保持合理的生态学基础提供建议,特别是关于从干旱地区到温带地区再到极地地区的龙的迁移问题。
虽然你的龙分析并不直接适用于现实中的物理情况,但使用的数学模型本身体现了许多真实情境下会考虑的特征。除了对这些虚构龙的建模活动之外,请描述并讨论一个在现实世界的其他领域中,你的建模工作可能会起到帮助或提供洞见的例子。

如果我想要通过查找论文来对第二题进行分析解决。我应该往什么方向分析第二题,又应该用什么关键词去检索论文?
在针对“第二题”进行学术研究或论文检索时,可以将“龙”视作一种极大型、会飞行的顶级捕食者,并从真实生物学与生态学的角度来“类比”或“拟合”其生态及能量需求。由于龙是虚构生物,你不可能直接搜索到“龙”的生态论文,但可以借鉴如下几个研究方向和关键词来辅助建模分析:
大型飞行动物或飞行动物的生理生态学
大型顶级捕食者的生态位与捕食模型
生物能量学与代谢率
迁徙与不同气候带对能量需求的影响
大型动物对于人类社会资源的依赖与协助
在检索文献数据库(如Google Scholar、Web of Science、CNKI等)时,可结合下列关键词进行精准搜索。建议搭配使用布尔逻辑(AND、OR、NOT)或加上学科限定词(如 “in title” 等):
大型动物的能量与代谢
顶级捕食者与生态系统
飞行动力学与能耗
气候与动物迁徙/分布
人类与野生动物共生/冲突
生态模型/模拟方法
大型爬行动物或史前生物研究(如果希望在“龙”身上加一点爬行动物或史前飞行动物的拟合)
从概念性综述或教科书切入
关注现有生态学/动物学研究中的建模思路
跨学科研究
思考模型可行性和简化假设
要分析第二题(关于龙的生态影响、能量需求、活动范围以及人类社会支撑),最佳的研究思路是从大型飞行动物/大型顶级捕食者的生态学与能量学角度入手,检索并阅读相关文献后,再结合数学建模的思路(比如代谢率公式、领地面积与种群数量的关联模型、迁徙模型等)进行论证。检索关键词可围绕**“Allometric scaling, Metabolic rate, Apex predator, Carrying capacity, Aerodynamics of flight, Climate impact”等**展开,并根据具体研究方向灵活组合。这样能帮助你快速定位到已有的理论和数据,为解题提供坚实的学术支持。
