Disentangling the contributions of density dependence and independence to population growth rates

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Separately quantifying the effects of density‐dependent and density‐independent factors on vital rates is necessary to determine their contribution to changes in population growth rates and better inform management and conservation. State space modeling and recently developed transient life table response experiments (tLTRE) at the level of ...

Drivers and consequences of nest ectoparasite pressure in tit nestlings

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Ectoparasites impose significant costs to their hosts and modulate their life-history traits. We evaluated the prevalence and abundance of louse flies, blowflies, fleas and mites in great tits (Parus major) and blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) breeding in

On the existence and exponential attractivity of a unique positive almost periodic solution to an impulsive hematopoiesis model with delays

, 2015
In this paper, a generalized model of hematopoiesis with delays and impulses is considered. By employing the contraction mapping principle and a novel type of impulsive delay inequality, we prove the existence of a unique positive almost periodic ...

The blowflies of the Madeira Archipelago: species diversity, distribution and identification (Diptera, Calliphoridae s. l.)

ZooKeys, 2016
Knowledge on the taxonomic diversity and distribution of blowflies from the Madeira Archipelago is updated. New and interesting findings are reported for poorly studied islands and islets of this archipelago, together with a brief analysis of the ...

Local deformation and stiffness distribution in fly wings

Biology Open, 2019
Mechanical properties of insect wings are essential for insect flight aerodynamics. During wing flapping, wings may undergo tremendous deformations, depending on the wings’ spatial stiffness distribution.

Persistence, permanence and global stability for an n-dimensional Nicholson system

, 2013
For a Nicholson's blowflies system with patch structure and multiple discrete delays, we analyze several features of the global asymptotic behavior of its solutions. It is shown that if the spectral bound of the community matrix is non-positive, then the

Compact almost automorphic solutions for some nonlinear integral equations with time-dependent and state-dependent delay

Advances in Difference Equations, 2017
We study the existence of compact almost automorphic solutions for a class of integral equations with time-dependent and state-dependent delay. An application to a blowflies model and a transmission lines model is carried out to support the theoretical ...

Student News [PDF]

, 2018
Calyptrates are a megadiverse, actively radiating, group of dipterans, which are widely spread and abundant in nearly all terrestrial environments. Despite huge diversity and economic importance, their phylogeny is far from resolved.
