Comparing the Fate of eDNA by Particle Sizes and Molecule Lengths in Recirculating Streams
Environmental DNAThe detection of environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized aquatic species monitoring, yet interpreting eDNA data remains challenging due to gaps in our understanding of eDNA ecology (i.e., origin, state, transport, and fate) and variability in how ...

Particle foraging strategies promote microbial diversity in marine environments
eLife, 2022 Microbial foraging in patchy environments, where resources are fragmented into particles or pockets embedded in a large matrix, plays a key role in natural environments. In the oceans and freshwater systems, particle-associated bacteria can interact with

Unravelling the origins of anomalous diffusion: From molecules to migrating storks
Physical Review Research, 2022 Anomalous diffusion or, more generally, anomalous transport, with nonlinear dependence of the mean-squared displacement on the measurement time, is ubiquitous in nature.

Emergent behavior of soil fungal dynamics:influence of soil architecture and water distribution [PDF]
, 2012 Macroscopic measurements and observations in two-dimensional soil-thin sections indicate that fungal hyphae invade preferentially the larger, air-filled pores in soils. This suggests that the architecture of soils and the microscale distribution of water

Variation in Weed Seed Fate Fed to Different Holstein Cattle Groups. [PDF]
, 2016 Weed seeds may maintain their viability when passing through the digestive tract of cattle and can be therefore dispersed by animal movement or the application of manure. Whether different cattle types of the same species can cause differential weed seed

Crossover Behaviour of 3-Species Systems with Mutations or Migrations
, 2004 We study the ABC model in the cyclic competition and neutral drift versions, with mutations and migrations introduced into the model. When stochastic phenomena are taken into account, there are three distinct regimes in the model.

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2013 Functional response estimation and population tracking in predator-prey systems are critical problems in ecology. In this paper we consider a stochastic predator-prey system with a Lotka-Volterra functional response and propose a particle filtering ...

Effects of Ingestion of Lithic Particles on Growth of the Apple Snail Pomacea canaliculata (Caenogastropoda, Ampullariidae) [PDF]
, 2016 Lithic particles are a common feature in the digestive tract of freshwater snails. Their role in the digestive processes has been demonstrated in some microphytophagous and detritivorous species, as they enhance growth, assimilation and reproduction.
