Distilling food web dynamics: top–down and bottom–up drivers of extinction and trophic cascades

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Quantifying population dynamics is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly for species that are cryptic, microscopic, or extinct. Traditional approaches rely on continuous representations of population size, but in many cases, the precise number of individuals is unknowable.

Seasonal variations in planktonic food web structure affect stability by shifting the distribution of energy fluxes

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seasonality in temperate ecosystems shapes species phenology, influencing interactions and food web structure. Variations in species richness and biomass affect trophic interaction strength, a crucial factor for community stability, which can be assessed through energy fluxes – an essential indicator of ecosystem function.

Existence and Boundedness of Solutions for Nonlinear Volterra Difference Equations in Banach Spaces

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2016
We consider a class of nonlinear discrete-time Volterra equations in Banach spaces. Estimates for the norm of operator-valued functions and the resolvents of quasi-nilpotent operators are used to find sufficient conditions that all solutions of such ...

Friends or foes? Polyploidy and competition in a grassland geophyte

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Previous studies have suggested polyploids may possess a competitive advantage over diploids, due to their larger size, increased vigour or ability to better respond to abiotic stress. However, few studies have tested the effect of polyploidy on competitive ability directly, and only relatively recently has this oversight begun to be addressed. Here we

Optimal Control Problems of Forward-Backward Stochastic Volterra Integral Equations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Optimal control problems of forward-backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (FBSVIEs in short) are formulated and studied. A general duality principle is established for linear backward stochastic integral equation and linear stochastic Fredholm ...

On the solutions of a nonlinear Volterra equation

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1972
Publisher Summary This chapter presents the solutions of a nonlinear Volterra equation. A real nonlinear Volterra equation is given by: where b(t), f(t), g(x) are given real functions. There exists a solution x(t) on 0 ≤ t ≤ ∞. Moreover, under this hypothesis any solution of il) on 0 ≤ t ≤ ∞ satisfies sup |x(t)| < ∞.
