Does a population with the highest turnover coefficient win competition?
, 2017 We consider a discrete time competition model. Populations compete for common limited resources but they have different fertilities and mortalities rates. We compare dynamical properties of this model with its continuous counterpart.

Connecting deterministic and stochastic metapopulation models [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper, we study the relationship between certain stochastic and deterministic versions of Hanski's incidence function model and the spatially realistic Levins model.

A two-strain ecoepidemic competition model
, 2014 In this paper we consider a competition system in which two diseases spread by contact. We characterize the system behavior, establishing that only some configurations are possible.

A Comparison of the Trojan Y Chromosome Strategy to Harvesting Models for Eradication of Non-Native Species [PDF]
, 2019 The Trojan Y Chromosome Strategy (TYC) is a promising eradication method for biological control of non-native species. The strategy works by manipulating the sex ratio of a population through the introduction of \textit{supermales} that guarantee male ...

Bistability induced by generalist natural enemies can reverse pest invasions [PDF]
, 2016 Reaction-diffusion analytical modeling of predator-prey systems has shown that specialist natural enemies can slow, stop and even reverse pest invasions, assuming that the prey population displays a strong Allee effect in its growth.

On the weakly competitive case in a two-species chemotaxis model
, 2016 In this article we investigate a parabolic-parabolic-elliptic two-species chemotaxis system with weak competition and show global asymptotic stability of the coexistence steady state under a smallness condition on the chemotactic strengths, which seems ...

Coinvasion-Coexistence Traveling Wave Solutions of an Integro-Difference Competition System [PDF]
, 2013 This paper is concerned with the traveling wave solutions of an integro-difference competition system, of which the purpose is to model the coinvasion-coexistence process of two competitors with age structure.

Results in EngineeringThe photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton in the seas is responsible for an estimated 50–80 % of the world's oxygen generation. Both phytoplankton and zooplankton require some of this synthesized oxygen for cellular respiration.

Stochastic and deterministic models for age-structured populations with genetically variable traits
, 2009 Understanding how stochastic and non-linear deterministic processes interact is a major challenge in population dynamics theory. After a short review, we introduce a stochastic individual-centered particle model to describe the evolution in continuous ...
