The Population Dynamics and Conservation of Primate Populations
Conservation Biology, 1989Abstract: Primates are among the most threatened taxa, with more than half of all species in jeopardy. In this paper we develop population models to use the kind of data on wild primates that primatologists actually collect.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics in Marginal Populations
The American Naturalist, 2006Population dynamics across a mortality gradient at an ecological margin are investigated using a novel modeling approach that allows direct comparison of stochastic spatially explicit simulation results with deterministic mean field models. The results show that demographic stochasticity has a large effect at population margins such that density ...

Population: The Dynamics of Change
Outlook on Agriculture, 1993Global population growth is generally considered to be one of the major driving forces of global change. Population changes, however, follow their own dynamics and can be influenced only marginally in the short run. This paper outlines the basic structure of these dynamics, including the important momentum of population growth.

Plant–pollinator population dynamics
Theoretical Population Biology, 2010We formulate and analyze a multi-generation population dynamics model for pollinators' mutualism with plants. The centerpiece of our model is an analytical expression for population-level plant-pollinator interactions extrapolated from a model of individual-level flowers and bees interactions.

Language Dynamics in Finite Populations
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2003Any mechanism of language acquisition can only learn a restricted set of grammars. The human brain contains a mechanism for language acquisition which can learn a restricted set of grammars. The theory of this restricted set is universal grammar (UG). UG has to be sufficiently specific to induce linguistic coherence in a population.

Population Bottlenecks in Quasispecies Dynamics
2006The characteristics of natural populations result from different stochastic and deterministic processes that include reproduction with error, selection, and genetic drift. In particular, population fluctuations constitute a stochastic process that may play a very relevant role in shaping the structure of populations.

Plant growth and population dynamics.
2006The main purpose of quantitative nematological research is to achieve an optimal economical protection of crops against plant-parasitic nematodes. To accomplish this, the costs of control measures must be adjusted to the costs of the expected yield reduction compared to the yield in a situation without the need for control.

Models of Viral Population Dynamics
2015Models of viral population dynamics have contributed enormously to our understanding of the pathogenesis and transmission of several infectious diseases, the coevolutionary dynamics of viruses and their hosts, the mechanisms of action of drugs, and the effectiveness of interventions.

On the Population Dynamics of the Malaria Vector
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2006A deterministic differential equation model for the population dynamics of the human malaria vector is derived and studied. Conditions for the existence and stability of a non-zero steady state vector population density are derived. These reveal that a threshold parameter, the vectorial basic reproduction number, exist and the vector can established ...
