Transition probabilities for general birth-death processes with applications in ecology, genetics, and evolution

open access: yes, 2011
A birth-death process is a continuous-time Markov chain that counts the number of particles in a system over time. In the general process with $n$ current particles, a new particle is born with instantaneous rate $\lambda_n$ and a particle dies with ...

Membrane filtration reduces nutrient availability and invasion potential in drinking water systems, without affecting mature biofilms

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Ensuring biostable drinking water is a growing priority for drinking water utilities, especially in non- or minimally chlorinated distribution systems where microbial regrowth is controlled through nutrient limitation.

Structural Changes of Seagrass Seascapes Driven by Natural and Anthropogenic Factors: A Multidisciplinary Approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Seascape ecology has been widely applied to marine habitats, including seagrass meadows, through various approaches all over the world for the past 30 years.

Embedding Population Dynamics Models in Inference

open access: yes, 2007
Increasing pressures on the environment are generating an ever-increasing need to manage animal and plant populations sustainably, and to protect and rebuild endangered populations.

Diazotrophs and N2-Fixation Associated With Particles in Coastal Estuarine Waters

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Putative heterotrophic bacteria carrying out N2-fixation, so-called non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs (NCDs), are widely distributed in marine waters, but details of how the O2-inhibited N2-fixation process is promoted in the oxic water column remains ...

Crossover Behaviour of 3-Species Systems with Mutations or Migrations

open access: yes, 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.

Stochastic spatial models of host-pathogen and host-mutualist interactions I

open access: yes, 2006
Mutualists and pathogens, collectively called symbionts, are ubiquitous in plant communities. While some symbionts are highly host-specific, others associate with multiple hosts.

SPUX: Scalable Particle Markov Chain Monte Carlo for Uncertainty Quantification in Stochastic Ecological Models

open access: yes, 2018
Calibration of individual based models (IBMs), successful in modeling complex ecological dynamical systems, is often performed only ad-hoc. Bayesian inference can be used for both parameter estimation and uncertainty quantification, but its successful application to realistic scenarios has been hindered by the complex stochastic nature of IBMs ...
