A piecewise deterministic model for a prey-predator community [PDF]
We are interested in prey-predator communities where the predator population evolves much faster than the prey's (e.g. insect-tree communities). We introduce a piecewise deterministic model for these prey-predator communities that arises as a limit of a microscopic model when the number of predators goes to infinity.

FMint is introduced as a multi‐modal foundation model that integrates human‐designed solvers and data‐driven methods for fast, accurate simulation of dynamical systems. FMint leverages in‐context learning within a transformer‐based framework to refine coarse numerical solutions.

Predation risk drives social complexity in cooperative breeders
Significance It is widely accepted that high predation risk may select for group living, but predation is not regarded as a primary driver of social complexity.

Shared predation: positive effects of predator distraction [PDF]
AbstractSimple rules based on population equilibria can characterize indirect interactions in three-species systems but fail to predict them when considering behavioral mechanisms. In this paper, we revisit the effects of shared predation,i.e. the situation in which two prey are consumed by a common predator.

Altered Brain‐Behavior Association During Resting State is a Potential Psychosis Risk Marker
The study detects a potential multimodal biomarker that can be promising for identifying early markers of psychosis. It shows a consistent brain‐behavior association between a circuit of interconnected regions and executive function in neurotypical controls and individuals at various stages of psychosis.

Nest predation is an essential factor affecting bird population density, reproductive ecology and life cycle. However, there are still contradictory results about how nest predation pressure changes with urbanization.

Adult mosquito predation and potential impact on the sterile insect technique
The sterile insect technique is a promising environmentally friendly method for mosquito control. This technique involves releasing laboratory-produced sterile males into a target field site, and its effectiveness may be affected by the extent of adult ...

Predation risk affects the costs and benefits of prey life-history decisions. Predation threat is often higher during reproduction, especially in conspicuous colonial breeders.

On the evolutionary emergence of predation [PDF]
In models for the evolution of predation from initially purely competitive species interactions, the propensity of predation is most often assumed to be a direct consequence of the relative morphological and physiological traits of interacting species.

A bias‐tunable multispectral photodetector based on a TexSe1‐x/GaN homo‐type heterojunction with a unidirectional barrier is proposed. By modulating the bias polarity and magnitude, the device's spectral response range can be extended from UV to the SWIR region.
