Bifurcation control of a delayed fractional-order prey-predator model with cannibalism and disease

N Li, M Yan - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2022 - Elsevier
In this paper, the bifurcation control for a fractional-order delayed prey-predator system with
disease and cannibalism is investigated. Firstly, the existence, uniqueness and non …

Growth, winter preparations and timing of emergence in temperate zone Odonata: control by a succession of larval response patterns

U Norling - International Journal of Odonatology, 2021 - diva-portal.org
As warm-adapted insects of tropical origin, Odonata cope with cold periods by seasonal
regulation and diapause. A model for larval-overwintering species is proposed with three …

Warming and predation risk only weakly shape size-mediated priority effects in a cannibalistic damselfly

M Raczyński, R Stoks, S Sniegula - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
Differences in hatching dates can shape intraspecific interactions through size-mediated
priority effects (SMPE), a phenomenon where bigger, early hatched individuals gain …

Size‐mediated priority effects are trait‐dependent and consistent across latitudes in a damselfly

M Raczyński, R Stoks, F Johansson, S Sniegula - Oikos, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Variation in hatching time (phenology) might cause size differences within populations
resulting in size‐mediated priority effects (SMPEs) shaping intraspecific interactions. These …

Size‐mediated priority and temperature effects on intra‐cohort competition and cannibalism in a damselfly

S Sniegula, MJ Golab… - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
A shift in the relative arrival of offspring, for example a shift in hatching time, can affect
competition at the intraspecific level through size‐mediated priority effects, where the larger …

Insect responses to seasonal time constraints under global change are facilitated by warming and counteracted by invasive alien predators

S Sniegula, R Stoks, MJ Golab - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
In seasonal environments, organisms with complex life cycles not only contend with
seasonal time constraints (TC) but also increasingly face global change stressors that may …

Effects of overwintering on the transcriptome and fitness traits in a damselfly with variable voltinism across two latitudes

unfavourable conditions. Winter diapause may bear various costs and questions have been …

Predator cannibalism can shift prey community composition toward dominance by small prey species

K Takatsu - Ecology and Evolution, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Cannibalism among predators is a key intraspecific interaction affecting their density and
foraging behavior, eventually modifying the strength of predation on heterospecific prey …
