We consider a two-species chemotaxis model in $\R^d(d \ge 3)$ featuring nonlinear porous medium-type diffusion and nonlocal attractive power-law interaction. Here, the nonlinear diffusion is chosen to be $1/m_1+1/m_2=(d+2)/d$ in such a way…

In the second part of this series of papers, we address the same Cauchy problem that was considered in part 1, namely the nonlocal Fisher-KPP equation in one spatial dimension, \[ u_t = D u_{xx} + u(1-\phi*u), \] where $\phi*u$ is a spatial…
There are various examples of phenotypic plasticity in ecosystems that serve as the basis for a wide range of inducible defences against predation. These strategies include camouflage, burrowing, mimicry, evasive actions, and even…
