Mechanistic Models of Virus–Bacteria Co-Infections in Humans: A Systematic Review of Methods and Assumptions [PDF]
PathogensBackground: Viral–bacterial co-infections can amplify disease severity through complex biological mechanisms. Mathematical models are critical tools for understanding these threats, but it is unclear how well they capture the underlying biology.

Biodiversity Dynamics on Islands: Explicitly Accounting for Causality in Mechanistic Models
Diversity, 2017 Island biogeography remains a popular topic in ecology and has gained renewed interest due to recent theoretical development. As experimental investigation of the theory is difficult to carry out, mechanistic simulation models provide useful alternatives.

Mechanistic models project bird invasions with accuracy [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Invasive species pose a major threat to biodiversity and inflict massive economic costs. Effective management of bio-invasions depends on reliable predictions of areas at risk of invasion, as they allow early invader detection and rapid responses.

Building and Understanding the Minimal Self
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Within the methodologically diverse interdisciplinary research on the minimal self, we identify two movements with seemingly disparate research agendas – cognitive science and cognitive (developmental) robotics.

Modulating Immune Response in Viral Infection for Quantitative Forecasts of Drug Efficacy
Pharmaceutics, 2023 The antiretroviral drug, the total level of viral production, and the effectiveness of immune responses are the main topics of this review because they are all dynamically interrelated.

Life-stage dependent response of the epiphytic lichen Lobaria pulmonaria to climate
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 Lichens are poikilohydric organisms, whose internal water content tends to reflect external humidity conditions. After drying, they can reactivate their metabolic activity through water vapor uptake or liquid water input.
