Abstract:

We study a subclass of the May–Leonard stochastic model with an arbitrary, even number of species, leading to the rise of two competing partnerships where individuals are indistinguishable. By carrying out a series of accurate numerical stochastic simulations, we show that alliances compete each other forming spatial domains bounded by interfaces of empty sites. We solve numerically the mean field equations associated with the stochastic model in one and two spatial dimensions. We demonstrate that the stationary interface profile presents topological properties which are related to the asympto

Abstract:

We address the question of the long-term coexistence of three competing species whose dynamics are governed by the partial differential equations. We obtain criteria for permanent coexistence in a Lotka-Volterra system modeling the interaction of three competing species in a bounded habitat whose exterior is lethal to each species. It is also proved that if the intercompeting strength is very weak, the system is always permanent, provided that each single one of the three species can survive in the absence of the two other species.

The models explore the effects of resource and temperature on competition between insect species. A system of differential equations is proposed and analysed qualitatively using stability theory. A local study of the models is performed around axial, planar, and interior equilibrium points to successively estimate the effect of (i) one species interacting with a resource, (ii) two competing species for a single resource, and (iii) three competing species for a single resource. The local stability analysis of the equilibrium is discussed using Routh-Hurwitz criteria. Numerical simulation of the

Abstract:

This paper aims to see how different spatial and environmental factors affect the coexistence or the exclusion of two species, while chemotaxis draws them towards a higher concentration of nutrients. For that, we analyze a robust numerical scheme applied for competitive two-species chemotaxis models with heterogeneous and potentially discontinuous diffusive coefficients. This extension is essential because diffusion can lead to discontinuities when the conductivities of the medium’s components differ. In this work, we examine a generalized finite volume scheme on admissible meshes, where the l

Abstract:

In a geographical region, species have their range margins (i.e., the geographic boundaries where species can be found). Several species distribution models have shown that environmental factors (i.e., abiotic factors) and species interactions (i.e., biotic interactions) are responsible for shaping the distributions of species. Yet, most of the models often focus on one of these factors and ignore their joint effects. Consequently, predicting which species will exist and at what range margins is a challenge in ecology. Thus, in this paper, the combined influences of these ecological factors on

Abstract:

Animals utilize their surroundings to make decisions on how to navigate and establish their territories. Some species gather information about competing groups by observing them from a distance, detecting scent markings, or relying on memories of encounters with rival populations. Gathering such information involves a nonlocal process, prompting the development of mechanistic models that incorporate nonlocal terms to explore species movement. These models, however, pose analytical and computational challenges. In this study, we focus on a multi-species advection–diffusion model that incorporat

Abstract:

AbstractReaction-diffusion systems are widely used to model the population densities of biological species competing for natural resources in their common habitat. It is often not too difficult to establish positive uniform upper bounds on solution components of such systems, but the task of establishing strictly positive uniform lower bounds (when they exist) can be quite troublesome. Two previously established criteria for the permanence (non-extinction and non-explosion) of solutions of general weakly-coupled competition-diffusion systems with diagonally convex reaction terms are used here

Abstract:

Some families of mathematical models of biological populations competing for common food are considered. Dynamic properties of these models are investigated on an assumption that one or several populations are strongly prolific, which means that the corresponding malthusian coefficients are rather large. On the basis of a special asymptotic method a problem of behavior of the initial system solutions can be reduced to a significantly simpler problem of dynamics of the finite-dimensional mappings. In particular, it has been shown that irregular relaxation vibrations are typical for the solution

We then use natural history data on the social behavior of California voles (Microtus californicus) to critically examine the plausibility of these assumptions.

Abstract We perform a feasibility study of using stochastic models to describe the profile of tree crowns and to capture the stochastic nature of the tree crown form for five conifer species of the Sierra Nevada.

In the remaining cases we used a quadratic or cubic trend in conjunction with white noise. These stochastic ARMA models are visually and statistically an improvement over using Euclidean geometric crown

This model assumes linear functional response. The second model is the modification of the first one when the effect of toxicant is taken into account. In this paper, we examine the dynamical behavior of non-survival and free equilibrium points of our proposed model.

Abstract:

SynopsisCoexistent steady-state solutions to a Lotka–Volterra model for two freely-dispersing competing species have been shown by several authors to arise as global secondary bifurcation phenomena. In this paper we establish conditions for the existence of global higher dimensional n-ary bifurcation in general systems of multiparameter nonlinear eigenvalue problems which preserve the coupling structure of diffusive steady-state Lotka–Volterra models. In establishing our result, we mainly employ the recently-developed multidimensional global multiparameter theory of Alexander–Antman. Condition

Abstract:

AbstractTwo new species are described that are remarkable in having exaggerated female genitalia: Mesabolivar samatiaguassu sp. n. and M. cuarassu sp. n.. Comparative evidence as well as size measurements of male and female structures suggest that the exaggerated female external genitalia correlate functionally with elongated male cheliceral apophyses. These morphological findings are discussed in the light of competing models of genital evolution. Luring mating acts, female cooperative behaviour and morphology, as well as the probable costs associated with the female structures argue against

Abstract:

We propose and analyse a new stochastic competing two-species population dynamics model. Competing algae population dynamics in river environments, an important engineering problem, motivates this model. The algae dynamics are described by a system of stochastic differential equations with the characteristic that the two populations are competing with each other through the environmental capacities. Unique existence of the uniformly bounded strong solution is proven and an attractor is identified. The Kolmogorov backward equation associated with the population dynamics is formulated and its un

Abstract:

Competition is ubiquitous in microbial communities, shaping both their spatial and temporal structure and composition. Classical minimal models of competition, such as the Moran model, have been employed in ecology and evolutionary biology to understand the role of fixation and invasion in the maintenance of population diversity. Informed by recent experimental studies of cellular competition in confined spaces, we extend the Moran model to incorporate mechanical interactions between cells that divide within the limited space of a one-dimensional open microchannel. The model characterizes the

Abstract:

This paper summarizes the mechanisms behind the patterning of the intra-population abundance distribution of the land snail Vallonia pulchella (Müller, 1774). The molluscs were collected in recultivated soil formed on red-brown clays (Pokrov, Ukraine). Data obtained in this study reveal that V. pulchella population abundance ranges from 1 to 13 individuals per 100 g of soil sample. To obtain estimates of the mean, three models were used: the model of the arithmetic mean, the Poisson model and a log-normal model. The arithmetic mean of the occurrence of this species during the study period was

Abstract:

This research aimed to develop statistical models to predict basal area increment (BAI) for Araucaria angustifolia using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Tree species were measured for their biometric variables and identified at the species level. The data were subdivided into three groups: (1) intraspecific competition with A. angustifolia; (2) the first group of species that causes interspecific competition with A. angustifolia; and (3) the second group of species that causes interspecific competition with A. angustifolia. We calculated both the dependent and independent distance and the d

AbstractMicrobial communities are ubiquitous and play crucial roles in many natural processes. Despite their importance for the environment, industry and human health, there are still many aspects of microbial community dynamics that we do not understand quantitatively. Recent experiments have shown that the structure and composition of microbial communities are intertwined with the metabolism of the species that inhabit them, suggesting that properties at the intracellular level such as the allocation of cellular proteomic resources must be taken into account when describing microbial communi

Abstract:

In this paper, we discuss the competition of two species for a single essential growth-limiting nutriment with viral infection that affects only the first species. Although the classical models without viral infection suggest competitive exclusion, this model exhibits the stable coexistence of both species. We reduce the fourth-dimension proposed model to a three-dimension one. Thus, the coexistence of the two competing species is demonstrated using the theory of uniform persistence applied to the three-variable reduced system. We prove that there is no coexistence of both species without the

Aggregation of amyloid- β (A β ) peptides is a significant event that underpins Alzheimer's disease (AD). A β aggregates, especially the low-molecular weight oligomers, are the primary toxic agents in AD pathogenesis. Therefore, there is increasing interest in understanding their formation and behaviour. In this paper, we use our previously established results on heterotypic interactions between A β and fatty acids (FAs) to investigate off-pathway aggregation under the control of FA concentrations to develop a mathematical framework that captures the mechanism.

Abstract:

In order to survive, animals must avoid injury and be able to detect potentially damaging stimuli via nociceptive mechanisms. If the injury is accompanied by a negative affective component, future behaviour should be altered and one can conclude the animal experienced the discomfort associated with pain. Fishes are the most successful vertebrate group when considering the number of species that have filled a variety of aquatic niches. The empirical evidence for nociception in fishes from the underlying molecular biology, neurobiology and anatomy of nociceptors through to whole animal behaviour
