Physical Connectivity Between the NE Atlantic Seamounts [PDF]
, 2020 Within the Portuguese Exclusive Economic Zone, the Great Meteor and Madeira-Tore complexes are highly productive areas, which are likely to be classified as marine protected areas (MPAs) due to their ecological vulnerability.

A multi-scale distribution model for non-equilibrium populations suggests resource limitation in an endangered rodent. [PDF]
, 2014 Species distributions are known to be limited by biotic and abiotic factors at multiple temporal and spatial scales. Species distribution models, however, frequently assume a population at equilibrium in both time and space.

Copepods encounter rates from a model of escape jump behaviour in turbulence [PDF]
, 2017 A key ecological parameter for planktonic copepods studies is their interspecies encounter rate which is driven by their behaviour and is strongly influenced by turbulence of the surrounding environment.

The challenges, uncertainties and opportunities of bioaerosol dispersion modelling from open composting facilities [PDF]
, 2017 Bioaerosols are ubiquitous organic particles that comprise viruses, bacteria and coarser fractions of organic matter. Known to adversely affect human health, the impact of bioaerosols on a population often manifests as outbreaks of illnesses such as ...

Isotopic constraints on the atmospheric sources and formation of nitrogenous species in clouds influenced by biomass burning [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 Predicting tropospheric cloud formation and subsequent nutrient deposition relies on understanding the sources and processes affecting aerosol constituents of the atmosphere that are preserved in cloud water.

Evolutionary connectionism: algorithmic principles underlying the evolution of biological organisation in evo-devo, evo-eco and evolutionary transitions [PDF]
, 2015 The mechanisms of variation, selection and inheritance, on which evolution by natural selection depends, are not fixed over evolutionary time. Current evolutionary biology is increasingly focussed on understanding how the evolution of developmental ...

Evolutionary Fields Can Explain Patterns of High Dimensional Complexity in Ecology [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 95, 042401 (2017), 2016 One of the properties that make ecological systems so unique is the range of complex behavioural patterns that can be exhibited by even the simplest communities with only a few species. Much of this complexity is commonly attributed to stochastic factors which have very high-degrees of freedom.

Spatial patterns of competing random walkers [PDF]
, 2014 We review recent results obtained from simple individual-based models of biological competition in which birth and death rates of an organism depend on the presence of other competing organisms close to it.
