Effects of Parasitism on the Population Growth of Toumeyella martinezae (Coccidae) in the Presence of Its Mutualistic Ant Liometopum apiculatum (Formicidae) in an Arid Region of Central Mexico [PDF]
InsectsThe soft scale Toumeyella martinezae infests the arborescent cactus Myrtillocactus geometrizans. This scale is, in turn, parasitized by the wasp Mexidalgus toumeyellus and forms a mutualistic relationship with the ant Liometopum apiculatum.

On population growth with catastrophes [PDF]
Stochastic Models, 2022 In this paper we study a particular class of Piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMP's) which are semi-stochastic catastrophe versions of deterministic population growth models. In between successive jumps the process follows a flow describing deterministic population growth. Moreover, at random jump times, governed by state-dependent rates, the

Laws of population growth [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 An important issue in the study of cities is defining a metropolitan area, because different definitions affect conclusions regarding the statistical distribution of urban activity. A commonly employed method of defining a metropolitan area is the Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), based on rules attempting to capture the notion of city as a ...

THE GROWTH OF POPULATIONS OF PROTOCELLS [PDF]
Processes of Emergence of Systems and Systemic Properties, 2008 the growth of protocells is discussed under different hypotheses (one or more replicators, linear and nonlinear kinetics) using a class of abstract models (Surface Reaction Models). A method to analyze the dynamics of successive protocell generations is presented, and it is applied to the problem of determining whether the duplication times of the ...
