Inferring Size-Based Functional Responses From the Physical Properties of the Medium
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 First derivations of the functional response were mechanistic, but subsequent uses of these functions tended to be phenomenological. Further understanding of the mechanisms underpinning predator-prey relationships might lead to novel insights into ...

Classical mechanics as nonlinear quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2007 All measurable predictions of classical mechanics can be reproduced from a quantum-like interpretation of a nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The key observation leading to classical physics is the fact that a wave function that satisfies a linear equation

Modelling Motility: The Mathematics of Spermatozoa
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 In one of the first examples of how mechanics can inform axonemal mechanism, Machin's study in the 1950s highlighted that observations of sperm motility cannot be explained by molecular motors in the cell membrane, but would instead require motors ...
