The Effect of Geometry on Survival and Extinction in a Moving-Boundary Problem Motivated by the Fisher-KPP Equation [PDF]
, 2022 The Fisher-Stefan model involves solving the Fisher-KPP equation on a domain whose boundary evolves according to a Stefan-like condition. The Fisher-Stefan model alleviates two practical limitations of the standard Fisher-KPP model when applied to biological invasion.

Extinction in a branching process: Why some of the fittest strategies cannot guarantee survival [PDF]
, 2013 The fitness of a biological strategy is typically measured by its expected reproductive rate, the first moment of its offspring distribution. However, strategies with high expected rates can also have high probabilities of extinction. A similar situation

The advantage of being slow: the quasi-neutral contact process [PDF]
, 2017 According to the competitive exclusion principle, in a finite ecosystem, extinction occurs naturally when two or more species compete for the same resources.

Biologically inspired near extinct system reconstruction [PDF]
13th IEEE International Conference on BioInformatics and BioEngineering, 2013 Recovery software system operations from a state of extensive damage without human intervention is a challenging problem as it may need to be based on a different infrastructure from the one that the system was originally designed for and deployed on (i.e., computational and communication devices) and significant reorganization of system ...

Biological diversity and probability of local extinction of ecosystems [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2000 Abstract1. With a mathematical model, we demonstrate that two principle components of biological diversity have antagonistic effects on the probability of ecosystem functioning (i.e. on ecosystem reliability, sensuNaeem 1998). Increasing the number of functionally analogous species in the system is shown to enhance reliability, while increasing the ...

Behavioral Correlates of Primates Conservation Status: Intrinsic Vulnerability to Anthropogenic Threats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Behavioral traits are likely to influence species vulnerability to anthropogenic threats and in consequence, their risk of extinction. Several studies have addressed this question and have highlighted a correlation between reproductive strategies and ...

Extinction in neutrally stable stochastic Lotka-Volterra models [PDF]
, 2012 Populations of competing biological species exhibit a fascinating interplay between the nonlinear dynamics of evolutionary selection forces and random fluctuations arising from the stochastic nature of the interactions.

Esboços, 2021 As the prospect of self-authored human extinction increasingly appears as a plausible scenario of human futures, a growing number of efforts aim at comprehending it as the prospect of the world without us.
