Monte Carlo Simulations of Sexual Reproduction [PDF]
Modifying the Redfield model of sexual reproduction and the Penna model of biological aging, we compare reproduction with and without recombination in age-structured populations. In contrast to Redfield and in agreement with Bernardes we find sexual reproduction to be preferred to asexual one.

Catastrophic senescence of the Pacific salmon without mutation-accumulation [PDF]
We derive catastrophic senescence of the Pacific salmon from an aging model which was recently proposed by Stauffer. The model is based on the postulates of a minimum reproduction age and a maximal genetic lifespan. It allows for self-organization of a typical age of first reproduction and a typical age of death.

Computation of the basic reproduction numbers for reaction-diffusion epidemic models
We consider a class of k-dimensional reaction-diffusion epidemic models (k=1,2,⋯) that are developed from autonomous ODE systems. We present a computational approach for the calculation and analysis of their basic reproduction numbers.

Background Sperm migration by thermotaxis is a guidance mechanism that operates along the oviduct and it has proved to be a valid method for selecting spermatozoa with low DNA fragmentation (SDF) in mice, humans, and stallions.
