Intelligence takes many forms. This study explores an insight that animals, humans, and
autonomous robots can all be analyzed as multi-task autonomous control systems …

The time-honored paradigm in the theory of virulence evolution assumes a positive relation
between infectivity and harmfulness. However, the etiology of respiratory diseases yields a …

We describe a model for the alternation between two activities. Each activity has an
associated tendency, and the model performs the activity with the higher tendency. The …

In this paper we give an analytical reformulation of Holling's (1966) simulation model for
invertebrate predatory behaviour. To this end we represent a population of predators as a …

I met Hans Metz for the first time almost exactly twenty years ago. It was early afternoon,
Sunday the second of December 1984 and the place was Amsterdam's central railway …

This article concerns two important problems with the statistical analysis of behavioural
latency measures: they typically have severely skewed distributions, and are often censored …

The reconstruction of demographic processes (such as mortality, birth, and change of stage)
from observations on a population's stagestructure is treated here in the context of models …

One important area of both the development of population dynamic theory and its direct
application is covered by the analysis of interactions between exploited fish stocks and their …

In the past information statistical analyses have been used for the description of the temporal
organization of behaviour. In general, these analyses are based upon data collected with …
