Modelling control of epidemics spreading by long-range interactions

B Dybiec, A Kleczkowski… - Journal of the Royal …, 2009 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We have studied the spread of epidemics characterized by a mixture of local and non-local
interactions. The infection spreads on a two-dimensional lattice with the fixed nearest …

Scale-free animal movement patterns: Lévy walks outperform fractional Brownian motions and fractional Lévy motions in random search scenarios

AM Reynolds - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
The movement patterns of a diverse range of animals have scale-free characteristics. These

The use of genetic, biochemical and electronic markers in population biology and ecology
has been growing tremendously during the last two decades. The first part of this paper aims …

Self-organization, scaling and collapse in a coupled automaton model of foragers and vegetation resources with seed dispersal

D Boyer, O López-Corona - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We introduce a model of travelling agents (eg, frugivorous animals) who feed on randomly
located vegetation patches and disperse their seeds, thus modifying the spatial distribution …

Thermal and trophic habitats of the leatherback turtle during the nesting season in French Guiana
