Fire-driven tick-host dynamics and their impact on tick-borne disease spread [0.03%]
火灾驱动的蜱虫-宿主动态及其对蜱传播疾病的影响

Traditionally employed as an ecological tool to prevent wildfires, controlled burns may also reduce the populations of vectors like ticks, thereby helping to manage vector-borne diseases. In this study, we analyze an impulsive ordinary diff...
Worker allocation between defence and non-defence tasks in social insect colonies: thresholds and stable configurations [0.03%]
社会性昆虫巢群中负责防御和非防御任务的工蜂分配：阈值及稳定配置
Chenbo Liu,Xin Xu,Tao Feng
Chenbo Liu
We study how a social insect colony reallocates workers between local entrance defence and other colony tasks during a short disturbance. To make this trade-off explicit, we extend a patrol-recruit framework by separating workers in a waiti...
Modelling the impact of diffusion and eutrophic conditions on fungal parasite transmission in poorly-mixed waters [0.03%]
在混合不良的水域中模拟扩散和富营养化条件对真菌寄生虫传播的影响

Fungal parasites are widespread in aquatic ecosystems and play an important role in regulating plankton populations by obligately infecting zooplankton hosts and inducing host mortality. In this study, we develop a transmission dynamics mod...
Dynamics of Discrete-Time Competition Models with Interspecific Mating and Reproductive Interference [0.03%]
具有种间交配和生殖干扰的离散时间竞争模型的动力学性质

We analyze discrete-time Leslie-Gower competition models featuring Beverton-Holt survivability and interspecific mating to explore interactions between two Aedes mosquito species. By incorporating larval resource competition and asymmetric ...
Interactive effects of fluctuating environments and dispersal on total population size [0.03%]
波动环境与传播对总体数量的相互作用效应

Pablo Amster
The effect of dispersal in a fragmented habitat is often studied using temporally homogeneous metapopulation models. However, natural environments are characterized by temporal heterogeneity, where factors like resource availability and tem...

Adjoint sensitivity analysis (ASA) is an efficient and popular method to calculate the sensitivity of an objective function to changes in the parameters of a dynamic model. ASA has found many applications including parameter estimation, opt...
Distributed majority consensus in synthetic microbial consortia with bursty gene expression [0.03%]

Engineering microbial consortia to perform robust population-level computations requires principled ways to achieve majority consensus in the presence of multiscale stochasticity. We develop a hybrid framework that couples time-varying intr...
Adding a fecundity-survival trade-off to a discrete population model with maturation delay [0.03%]
具成熟延迟的离散种群模型中添加繁殖-存活权衡关系

Christopher J Greyson-Gaito
Some previously studied discrete delayed population models have included the often neglected mortality of immature individuals during the maturation delay, making them a more suitable representation of populations with delayed recruitment. ...

Targeted therapies for BRAF-mutant melanoma have extended median survival but often lead to drug resistance. Preclinical studies revealed that some resistant melanoma cells exhibit "drug addiction", growing poorly without treatment, suggest...
A Delay Differential Model for Antiviral Treatment and Rebound Dynamics [0.03%]
用于抗病毒治疗和反弹动力学的延迟微分模型

Rebound, arising from an increase in viral load after initial treatment to levels sufficient for renewed infectiousness, has been observed in COVID-19 patients, prompting concerns about patient outcomes and potential implications for transm...
