The stem cell population of the human colon crypt: analysis via methylation patterns. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2007 The analysis of methylation patterns is a promising approach to investigate the genealogy of cell populations in an organism. In a stem cell-niche scenario, sampled methylation patterns are the stochastic outcome of a complex interplay between niche ...

Spatial perspectives on niche empowerment: an agent-based model
Regional Studies, 2021 This paper aims at increasing our understanding of the role of space dimensions in niche evolution dynamics. To accomplish this goal, an agent-based model is developed, locating agents in geographical space. The model is then used to show how local niches built on geographical proximity perform differently from global niches built on relative proximity,

Divergence in the ecological niches of the white wagtail (Motacilla alba Linnaeus, 1758) complex using the ecological niche modeling approach [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2017 The mtDNA data presently being used for estimating biodiversity is not sufficient for evaluating the Motacilla alba complex species status. Because there is a lack of congruence between morphological and mtDNA data, there are debates about the best ...

Agent-Based Modeling of Ecological Niche Theory and Assortative Drinking [PDF]
Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 2012 The present paper presents a preliminary approach to the modeling of dynamic properties of the spatial assortment of alcohol outlets using agent-based techniques. Individual drinkers and business establishments are the core agent types. Drinkers assort themselves by frequenting establishments due to spatial and social (niche) motivations.

Mainstreaming remotely sensed ecosystem functioning in ecological niche models
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Biodiversity is declining globally at unprecedented rates. Ecological niche models (ENMs) are one of the most widely used toolsets to appraise global change impacts on biodiversity.

Stochastic dynamics of interacting haematopoietic stem cell niche lineages. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2014 Since we still know very little about stem cells in their natural environment, it is useful to explore their dynamics through modelling and simulation, as well as experimentally.

Ecological modelling approaches for predicting emergent properties in microbial communities
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2022 Recent studies have brought forward the critical role of emergent properties in shaping microbial communities and the ecosystems of which they are a part.
