Agent-based models (ABMs) are an increasingly popular choice for simulating large
systems of interacting components, and have been applied across a wide variety of natural …

Habitat loss is one of the key drivers of the ongoing decline of biodiversity. However,
ecologists still argue about how fragmentation of habitat (independent of habitat loss) affects …

Indices of abundance derived from fisheries-independent surveys play a crucial role in
sustainable fisheries management. While design-based methods provide unbiased indices …

Disturbances are ubiquitous in ecological systems, and species have evolved a range of
strategies to resist or rebound following disturbance. Understanding how the presence and …

While many natural and artificial surfaces may appear dry, they are in fact covered by thin
liquid films and microdroplets invisible to the naked eye known as microscopic surface …

Tree populations worldwide are facing an unprecedented threat from a variety of tree
diseases and invasive pests. Their spread, exacerbated by increasing globalisation and …

Simulation-based and permutation-based inferential methods are commonplace in
phylogenetic comparative methods, especially as evolutionary data have become more …

Spatial management has been adopted worldwide to mitigate habitat impacts while
achieving fisheries management objectives. However, there is little theory or practice for …

Theoretical and applied cancer studies that use individual-based models (IBMs) have been
limited by the lack of a mathematical formulation that enables rigorous analysis of these …

We revisit a spatial metapopulation model on continuous space as a stochastic point pattern
dynamics. In the model, local patches as points are distributed with a certain spatial …
