Epiphyte metapopulation dynamics are explained by species traits, connectivity, and patch dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The colonization-extinction dynamics of many species are affected by the dynamics of their patches. For increasing our understanding of the metapopulation dynamics of sessile species confined to dynamic patches, we fitted a Bayesian incidence function ...

Extinction times of epidemic outbreaks in networks. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
In the Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) model of disease spreading, the time to extinction of the epidemics happens at an intermediate value of the per-contact transmission probability.

Is Statistical Learning of a Salient Distractor’s Color Implicit, Inflexible and Distinct From Inter-Trial Priming?

open access: yesJournal of Cognition, 2022
Being able to overcome distraction by salient distractors is critical in order to allocate our attention efficiently. Previous research showed that observers can learn to ignore salient distractors endowed with some regularity, such as a high-probability

Local approximation of Markov chains in time and space

open access: yesJournal of Biological Dynamics, 2019
In epidemic modelling, the emergence of a disease is characterized by the low numbers of infectious individuals. Environmental randomness impacts outcomes such as the outbreak or extinction of the disease in this case.

Estimation of breed contributions to present and future genetic diversity of 44 North Eurasian cattle breeds using core set diversity measures

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2006
Extinction of breeds threatens genetic diversity of livestock species. The need to conserve genetic diversity is widely accepted but involves in general two questions: (i) is the expected loss of diversity in a set of breeds within a defined future time ...

Site of asteroid impact changed the history of life on Earth: the low probability of mass extinction

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid approximately 9 km in diameter hit the hydrocarbon- and sulfur-rich sedimentary rocks in what is now Mexico. Recent studies have shown that this impact at the Yucatan Peninsula heated the hydrocarbon and sulfur in

Population Viability and Conservation Strategies for the Eurasian Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus) in Southeast Europe

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
The Eurasian Black Vulture is a globally threatened raptor that in Southeast Europe only occurs in an isolated population in Greece. We examined the population viability for the species under demographic fluctuations and conservation scenarios.

Pesticide reduces bumblebee colony initiation and increases probability of population extinction

open access: yesNature Ecology & Evolution, 2017
Pollinators are in global decline and agricultural pesticides are a potential driver of this. Recent studies have suggested that pesticides may significantly impact bumblebee colonies—an important and declining group of pollinators.
