In this work, we introduce a spatial branching process to model the growth of the mycelial network of a filamentous fungus. In this model, each filament is described by the position of its tip, the trajectory of which is solution to a…

Very recently we have developed a dynamic network model for eco-systems that achieved ``unification'' of ``micro'' and ``macro''-evolution. We now propose an extension of our model so as to stabilize the eco-system and describe {\it…

We consider the reconciliation problem, in which the task is to find a mapping of a gene tree into a species tree, so as to maximize the likelihood of such fitting, given the available data. We describe a model for the evolution of the…

We consider a population organised hierarchically with respect to size in such a way that the growth rate of each individual depends only on the presence of larger individuals. As a concrete example one might think of a forest, in which the…
