Population Dynamics on Complex Food Webs [PDF]
, 2011 In this work we analyse the topological and dynamical properties of a simple model of complex food webs, namely the niche model. In order to underline competition among species, we introduce "prey" and "predators" weighted overlap graphs derived from the

Ensemble ecological niche modeling of West Nile virus probability in Florida
PLoS ONE, 2021 Ecological Niche Modeling is a process by which spatiotemporal, climatic, and environmental data are analyzed to predict the distribution of an organism. Using this process, an ensemble ecological niche model for West Nile virus habitat prediction in the

Ecological Niche Modelling of Bank Voles in Western Europe [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2013 The bank vole (Myodes glareolus) is the natural host of Puumala virus (PUUV) in vast areas of Europe. PUUV is one of the hantaviruses which are transmitted to humans by infected rodents. PUUV causes a general mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) called nephropathia epidemica (NE).

Predicting Avian Influenza Co-Infection with H5N1 and H9N2 in Northern Egypt. [PDF]
, 2016 Human outbreaks with avian influenza have been, so far, constrained by poor viral adaptation to non-avian hosts. This could be overcome via co-infection, whereby two strains share genetic material, allowing new hybrid strains to emerge. Identifying areas
