Mathematical modelling of the movement of animals, micro-organisms and cells is of great
relevance in the fields of biology, ecology and medicine. Movement models can take many …

Covering the major topics of evolutionary game theory, Game-Theoretical Models in Biology,
Second Edition presents both abstract and practical mathematical models of real biological …

The present paper deals with a nutrient-plankton model in an aquatic environment in the
context of phytoplankton bloom. Toxin producing phytoplanktons are assumed to play the …

Increasing evidence suggests that the infectiousness of patients for the sand fly vector of
visceral leishmaniasis is linked to parasites found in the skin. Using a murine model that …

Large-scale aquatic ecosystem restoration is increasing and is often controversial because
of the economic costs involved, with the focus of the controversies gravitating to the …

The factors influencing the movement and recruitment of settlement stage larvae are
investigated using random walk models. Individual-based sensing and orientating abilities …

Pre-flexion stages of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) larvae were collected in 2014
during the peak of spawning in the two main spawning areas: Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and …

This study contrasts diet composition patterns of larval fish categorized as strong and weak
foragers, identified from quadratic relationships between larval length and the number of …

A simple combination of wind‐driven nutrient upwelling, surface currents, and plankton
growth/grazing equations generates zooplankton patchiness and hotspots in coastal …

Recruitment success of marine fishes is generally considered to be highly dependent on
larval growth and survival. In temperate ecosystems, fish larvae are sensitive to food …
