Long-term stability of cortical population dynamics underlying consistent behavior
Nature Neuroscience, 2019 Animals readily execute learned behaviors in a consistent manner over long periods of time, and yet no equally stable neural correlate has been demonstrated. How does the cortex achieve this stable control?

Thirst regulates motivated behavior through modulation of brainwide neural population dynamics
Science, 2019 Neuron activity across the brain How is it that groups of neurons dispersed through the brain interact to generate complex behaviors? Three papers in this issue present brain-scale studies of neuronal activity and dynamics (see the Perspective by Huk and

More frequent extreme climate events stabilize reindeer population dynamics
Nature Communications, 2019 Extreme climate events often cause population crashes but are difficult to account for in population-dynamic studies. Especially in long-lived animals, density dependence and demography may induce lagged impacts of perturbations on population growth.

Tetranychus evansi spider mite populations suppress tomato defenses to varying degrees
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Plant defense suppression is an offensive strategy of herbivores, in which they manipulate plant physiological processes to increase their performance. Paradoxically, defense suppression does not always benefit the defense‐suppressing herbivores, because

Why Do Herbivorous Mites Suppress Plant Defenses?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Plants have evolved numerous defensive traits that enable them to resist herbivores. In turn, this resistance has selected for herbivores that can cope with defenses by either avoiding, resisting or suppressing them. Several species of herbivorous mites,

Different population dynamics in the supplementary motor area and motor cortex during reaching
Nature Communications, 2018 Neural populations perform computations through their collective activity. Different computations likely require different population-level dynamics. We leverage this assumption to examine neural responses recorded from the supplementary motor area (SMA)

Modeling Best Practice Life Expectancy Using Gumbel Autoregressive Models
Risks, 2021 Best practice life expectancy has recently been modeled using extreme value theory. In this paper we present the Gumbel autoregressive model of order one—Gumbel AR(1)—as an option for modeling best practice life expectancy. This class of model represents

Modeling cell population dynamics
Silico Biol., 2018 Quantitative modeling is quickly becoming an integral part of biology, due to the ability of mathematical models and computer simulations to generate insights and predict the behavior of living systems.
