Analysis of mathematical models in ecology and epidemiology often focuses on asymptotic dynamics, such as stable equilibria and periodic orbits. However, many systems exhibit long transient behaviors where certain aspects of the dynamics…
Chemotaxis and reactions are fundamental processes in biology, often intricately intertwined. Chemotaxis, in particular, can be crucial in maintaining and accelerating a reaction. In this work, we extend the investigation initiated by…
Chemotaxis is typically modeled in the context of cellular motion towards a static, exogenous source of chemoattractant. Here, we propose a time-dependent mechanism of chemotaxis in which a self-propelled particle ({\it e.g.}, a cell)…
We study a spatial (two-dimensional) Rosenzweig-MacArthur model under the following assumptions: $(1)$ prey movement follows a nonlinear diffusion, $(2)$ preys have a refuge zone (sometimes called "protection zone") where predators cannot…
A nonlinear cross-diffusion--fluid system with chemical terms describing the dynamics of predator-prey living in a Newtonian fluid is proposed in this paper. The existence of a weak solution for the proposed macro-scale system is proved…
A three-dimensional hydrodynamical model for a micro random walker is combined with the idea of chemotactic signaling network of E. coli. Diffusion exponents, orientational correlation functions and their dependence on the geometrical and…
We are concerned with the persistence of both predator and prey in a diffusive predator-prey system with a climate change effect, which is modeled by a spatial-temporal heterogeneity depending on a moving variable. Moreover, we consider…
Many chemotactic bacteria inhabit environments in which chemicals appear as localized pulses and evolve by processes such as diffusion and mixing. We show that, in such environments, physical limits on the accuracy of temporal gradient…
In this paper, we investigate the effect of dispersal and advection on the dynamics of a predator-prey model. More precisely, we show that the linear stability of the semi-trivial steady state is determined by the dispersal rate, the…
In chemotaxis, cells are modulating their migration patterns in response to concentration gradients of a guiding substance. Immune cells are believed to use such chemotactic sensing for remotely detecting and homing in on pathogens.…
This paper investigates the large time behaviour of a three species reaction-diffusion system, modelling the spatial invasion of two predators feeding on a single prey species. In addition to the competition for food, the two predators…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of the ratio-dependent type prey-predator model with different free boundaries. The two free boundaries, determined by prey and predator respectively, implying that they may intersect each other as time…
Studies of transient dynamics captures the time history of any dramatic changes in the dynamics of a system. The transient dynamics is investigated here in a classic ecological model of a bistable tri-trophic food chain. All the species in…
A wide array of biological systems can navigate in shallow gradients of chemoattractant with remarkable precision. Whilst previous approaches model such systems using coarse-grained chemical density profiles, we construct a dynamical model…
We consider a stochastic individual based model where each predator searches during a random time and then manipulates its prey or rests. The time distributions may be non-exponential. An age structure allows to describe these interactions…
The diffusive Beddington-DeAngelis predator-prey model with nonlinear prey-taxis and free boundary is considered. We investigate the existence and uniqueness, regularity and uniform estimates, and long time behavior of the global solution.…
In this note we present a study of the solutions associated to a particular spatial extension of the Rosenzweig-MacArthur model for predator and prey. The analysis presented here shows that positive steady state solutions emerge via a…
In this paper we consider a model of a nutrient-prey-predator system in a chemostat with general functional responses, using the input concentration of nutrient as the bifurcation parameter. We study the changes in the existence of isolated…

Motivated by observations of the dynamics of {\it Myxococcus xanthus}, we present a self-interacting random walk model that describes the competition between chemokinesis and chemotaxis. Cells are constrained to move in one dimension, but…
