Global Dynamics and Time-Optimal Control Studies for Additional Food provided Holling Type-III Mutually Interfering Prey-Predator Systems with Applications to Pest Management [PDF]

arXiv
In this study, we investigate a prey-predator model exhibiting Holling type-III functional response among mutually interfering predators to assess the effects of provision of additional food to natural enemies in altering pest dynamics. We derive and study both the non-additional food provided system (initial system) and additional food provided system

Ant Detective: An Automated Approach for Counting Ants in Densely Populated Images and Gaining Insight into Ant Foraging Behavior [PDF]

arXiv
Ant foraging behavior is essential to understanding ecological dynamics and developing effective pest management strategies, but quantifying this behavior is challenging due to the labor-intensive nature of manual counting, especially in densely populated images.
