This study develops a mathematical model showing that bacterial corpses can influence infection dynamics and immune evolution by both hindering pathogen control and protecting against autoimmune damage.

The paper shows that boom-and-bust environmental fluctuations can favor non-antagonistic microbes by reducing the fitness cost of toxin production.

This paper develops a stochastic dynamic programming framework to model optimal foraging strategies in continuous landscapes with spatially varying predation risk, showing how utility functions influence foraging paths and decisions.
