Spatial ecology of a range‐expanding bumble bee pollinator

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Molecular methods have greatly increased our understanding of the previously cryptic spatial ecology of bumble bees (Bombus spp.), with knowledge of the spatial ecology of these bees being central to conserving their essential pollination services ...

Sharpness of saturation in harvesting and predation

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2009
Harvesting and predation occur through contact processes in which the rateat which the managed (prey) population can be found depends on thepopulation size, usually saturating at high densities.

Simulation-based model selection for dynamical systems in systems and population biology [PDF]

, 2010
Computer simulations have become an important tool across the biomedical sciences and beyond. For many important problems several different models or hypotheses exist and choosing which one best describes reality or observed data is not straightforward ...

Acceptance of Evolution Increases with Student Academic Level: A Comparison Between a Secular and a Religious College [PDF]

, 2009
Acceptance of evolution among the general public, high schools, teachers, and scientists has been documented in the USA; little is known about college students’ views on evolution; this population is relevant since it transits from a high-school/parent ...

Extinction risk and conservation of the world’s sharks and rays

eLife, 2014
The rapid expansion of human activities threatens ocean-wide biodiversity. Numerous marine animal populations have declined, yet it remains unclear whether these trends are symptomatic of a chronic accumulation of global marine extinction risk.

Some recent developments on linear determinacy

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2013
The process of invasion is fundamental to the study of the dynamics of ecological and epidemiological systems. Quantitatively, a crucial measure of species' invasiveness is given by the rate at which it spreads into new open environments.
