In the present paper the initial value problem for the second order ordinary differential equation with damping term and involution is investigated. We obtain equivalent initial value problem for the fourth order ordinary differential equations to the ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

occumb: An R package for site occupancy modeling of eDNA metabarcoding data
This study introduces a new R package, occumb, for the convenient application of site occupancy modeling using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data. We outline a data analysis workflow, including data setup, model fitting, model assessment, and comparison of potential study settings based on model predictions, all of which can be performed using

We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Limits of solutions of a perturbed linear differential equation
Using interesting techniques, an existence result for the problem $\ddot{x}+2f\left( t\right) \dot{x}+x+g\left( t,x\right) =0,$ $\lim\limits_{t\rightarrow +\infty }x\left( t\right) =\lim\limits_{t\rightarrow +\infty }\dot{x}\left( t\right) =0,$ is given ...

On a linear stochastic differential equation
Stochastic differential (s. d.) equations had been considered in [Nasr, 1960] and [Nasr]. We consider here, the s. d. equationf(D)x(t)=m(t)+v(t)z(t) wherem(t),v(t) are real functions oft,f(D) is a polynomial inD withD=d/dt, andz(t) is a random function.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Asymptotic formulas for a scalar linear delay differential equation
The linear delay differential equation $$ x'(t)=p(t)x(t-r) $$ is considered, where $r>0$ and the coefficient $p:[t_0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function such that $p(t)\to0$ as $t\to\infty$. In a recent paper [M. Pituk, G. Röst, Bound.

Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size
