Life Histories and Study Duration matter less than Prior Knowledge of Vital Rates to Inverse Integral Projection Models

This study shows that prior knowledge of vital rates is more important than time-series duration or life history traits for accurately estimating demographic rates using inverse integral projection models.

Inclusive fitness forces of selection in an age-structured population

This paper derives inclusive fitness forces of selection in social species, showing that selection on survival can persist post-reproduction and reproductive selection may not decline monotonically.

Mechanisms of biodiversity between Campylobacter sequence types in a flock of broiler-breeder chickens.

The paper investigates how multiple Campylobacter sequence types co-occur in a chicken flock by analyzing competition, transmission, and mortality parameters.

Three-dimensional random walk models of individual animal movement and their application to trap counts modelling

This study develops 3D random walk models to analyze trap counts for flying insects, finding that trap shape and diffusion affect capture efficiency.

A mathematical modelling approach to uncover factors influencing the spread of Campylobacter in a flock of chickens

The paper uses Bayesian models to analyze Campylobacter spread in chickens, finding that seasonal variation and bird health influence prevalence of different species.

The Goldilocks Window of Personalized Chemotherapy: An Immune Perspective

This study uses mathematical modeling to show that optimal chemotherapy scheduling must balance tumor reduction and immune preservation to maximize treatment efficacy.

Trophic interaction modifications disrupt the structure and stability of food webs

This study shows that trophic interaction modifications affect community interaction structure and stability, making trophic networks alone insufficient for predicting ecological dynamics.

Identifying Important Interaction Modifications in Ecological Systems

The paper identifies key trophic interaction modifications in ecological networks that significantly affect system dynamics using simulated food webs.

Crystal Toxins and the volunteer’s dilemma in bacteria

This study shows that Cry toxin production in Bacillus thuringiensis is a volunteer's dilemma, where toxin producers benefit when others also produce, but cheaters can thrive under certain conditions.
