Global dynamics and optimal harvesting in a stochastic two-predators one-prey system with distributed delays and Lévy noise

open access: yesJournal of Biological Dynamics, 2020
In this paper, we first investigate a stochastic two-predators one-prey model with Lévy noise and distributed delays. The global dynamical behaviour is discussed.

On efficient numerical approaches for the study of the interactive dynamics of fractional eco-epidemiological models

open access: yesAIMS Mathematics, 2023
The present study aims to consider a mathematical eco-epidemiological model involving two fractional operators. To this end, we provide approximate solutions to these fractional systems through the application of a numerical technique that is based on ...

The Mid-Infrared Extinction Law in the Ophiuchus, Perseus, and Serpens Molecular Clouds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We compute the mid-infrared extinction law from 3.6-24 microns in three molecular clouds: Ophiuchus, Perseus, and Serpens, by combining data from the "Cores to Disks" Spitzer Legacy Science program with deep JHKs imaging.

Microrefugia and species persistence in the Galápagos highlands: A 26,000-year paleoecological perspective.

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2013
The Galápagos Islands are known to have experienced significant drought during the Quaternary. The loss of mesophytic upland habitats has been suggested to underlie the relatively lower endemism of upland compared with lowland plant assemblages.

The politics of animal extinction and conservation: Interests, framing, and policy

open access: yesJournal of Political Ecology, 2023
Why do conservation policies fail to prevent species extinctions and die-offs in contravention of stated intentions and goals? Bringing together a range of literature, including political ecology, political theory, conservation science, communication ...

Eyeblink Classical Conditioning and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder – A Model Systems Approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2015
Not everyone exposed to trauma suffers flashbacks, bad dreams, numbing, fear, anxiety, sleeplessness, hyper-vigilance, hyperarousal, or an inability to cope, but those who do may suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Integrating deep-time palaeontology in conservation prioritisation

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Halting biodiversity loss under growing anthropogenic pressure is arguably the greatest environmental challenge we face. Given that not all species are equally threatened and that resources are always limited, establishing robust prioritisation schemes ...

Extinction risk and conservation of the world’s sharks and rays [PDF]

open access: yeseLife, 2013
The rapid expansion of human activities threatens ocean-wide biodiversity. Numerous marine animal populations have declined, yet it remains unclear whether these trends are symptomatic of a chronic accumulation of global marine extinction risk.

Activation of dopamine receptors in the nucleus accumbens promotes sucrose-reinforced cued approach behavior

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2016
Dopamine receptor activation in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) promotes vigorous environmentally-cued food-seeking in hungry rats. Rats fed ad libitum, however, respond to fewer food-predictive cues, particularly when the value of food reward is low.

Impaired contextual modulation of memories in PTSD: an fMRI and psychophysiological study of extinction retention and fear renewal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients display pervasive fear memories, expressed indiscriminately. Proposed mechanisms include enhanced fear learning and impaired extinction or extinction recall. Documented extinction recall deficits and failure
