Viral hepatitis A is still common in Italy, especially in Southern regions. In this study, a metapopulation model for hepatitis A virus (HAV) transmission is proposed and analyzed. Analytical results on the asymptotic and transient behavior...
The role of reproductive plant traits and biotic interactions in the dynamics of semi-arid plant communities [0.03%]
半干旱植物群落动态中的生殖性状和生物互作的作用机制研究

The dynamics of semi-arid plant communities are determined by the interplay between competition and facilitation among plants. The sign and strength of these biotic interactions depend on plant traits. However, the relationships between pla...

To address how the spatial configuration of habitat fragmentation influences the persistence and the rate of spread of an invasive species, we consider three simple periodically fragmented environments, a lattice-like corridor environment, ...

Partial panmixia can be regarded as the limiting case of long-distance migration. The effect of incorporating partial panmixia into neutral models of geographical variation is investigated. The monoecious, diploid population is subdivided i...
Simulation of evolution implemented in the mutualistic symbioses towards enhancing their ecological efficiency, functional integrity and genotypic specificity [0.03%]

We created the mathematical model for the evolution of the Efficiency of Mutualistic Symbioses (EMS) which was estimated as the microsymbiont impacts on the host's reproductive potential. Using the example of rhizobia-legume interaction, th...

Although dispersal is recognized as a key issue in several fields of population biology (such as behavioral ecology, population genetics, metapopulation dynamics or evolutionary modeling), these disciplines focus on different aspects of the...

Bacterial insertion sequences are the simplest form of autonomous mobile DNA. It is unknown whether they need to have beneficial effects to infect and persist in bacterial populations, or whether horizontal gene transfer suffices for their ...

We formulate and analyze a multi-generation population dynamics model for pollinators' mutualism with plants. The centerpiece of our model is an analytical expression for population-level plant-pollinator interactions extrapolated from a mo...

Humans strongly depend on individual and social learning, both of which are highly effective and accurate. I study the effects of environmental change on the evolution of the effectiveness and accuracy of individual and social learning (ind...

Increasing evidence of the effects of changing climate on physical ocean conditions and long-term changes in fish populations adds to the need to understand the effects of stochastic forcing on marine populations. Cohort resonance is of par...
