Population survival depends on a large set of factors that includes environment structure. Due to landscape heterogeneity, species can occupy particular regions that provide the ideal scenario for development, working as a refuge from…
This paper deals with an impulsive degenerate logistic model, where pulses are introduced for modeling interventions or disturbances, and degenerate logistic term may describe refugees or protections zones for the species. Firstly, the…
We consider a moving boundary mathematical model of biological invasion. The model describes the spatiotemporal evolution of two adjacent populations: each population undergoes linear diffusion and logistic growth, and the boundary between…
Classical theory predicts that for two competing populations subject to a constant downstream drift, the faster disperser will competitively exclude the slower disperser. In the current work, we consider a novel model of a "much faster"…
The paper is concerned with different types of dispersal chosen by competing species. We introduce a model with the diffusion-type term $\nabla \cdot \left[ a \nabla \left( u/P \right) \right]$ which includes some previously studied systems…
Dispersal of species to find a more favorable habitat is important in population dynamics. Dispersal rates evolve in response to the relative success of different dispersal strategies. In a simplified deterministic treatment (J. Dockery, V.…
The question of whether biological populations survive or are eventually driven to extinction has long been examined using mathematical models. In this work we study population survival or extinction using a stochastic, discrete…
A mass ejection model in a time-dependent random environment with both temporal and spatial correlations is introduced. When the environment has a finite correlation length, individual particle trajectories are found to diffuse at large…
We discuss a cellular automata model to study the competition between an emergent better fitted species against an existing majority species. The model implement local fights among small group of individual and a synchronous random walk on…
We investigate how initial and boundary conditions influence the competition dynamics and outcome in dispersal-structured populations. The study is carried out through numerical modeling of the heterogeneous Brownian bugs model, in which…
Cyclic dominance of competing species is an intensively used working hypothesis to explain biodiversity in certain living systems, where the evolutionary selection principle would dictate a single victor otherwise. Technically the…
In this paper, we are concerned with a two-species competitive model with diffusive terms on a periodically evolving domain and study the impact of the spatial periodic evolution on the dynamics of the model. The Lagrangian transformation…
Traveling fronts describe the transition between two alternative states in a great number of physical and biological systems. Examples include the spread of beneficial mutations, chemical reactions, and the invasions by foreign species. In…
An integro-differential equation on a tree graph is used to model the evolution and spatial distribution of a population of organisms in a river network. Individual organisms become mobile at a constant rate, and disperse according to an…
Cooperation and competition between pathogens can alter the amount of individuals affected by a co-infection. Nonetheless, the evolution of the pathogens' behavior has been overlooked. Here, we consider a co-evolutionary model where the…
This paper aims at understanding the longtime behaviors of a reducible cooperative system with nonlocal diffusions and different free boundaries, describing the interactions of two mutually beneficial species. Compared with the irreducible…
We consider a population structured by a space variable and a phenotypical trait, submitted to dispersion, mutations, growth and nonlocal competition. This population is facing an environmental gradient: the optimal trait for survival…
The pattern formation and spatial spread of infectious populations are investigated using a kernel-based Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) model applicable across a wide range of basic reproduction numbers $R_o$. The focus is on the…
Ecological systems are complex dynamical systems. Modelling efforts on ecosystems' dynamical stability have revealed that population dynamics, being highly nonlinear, can be governed by complex fluctuations. Indeed, experimental and field…
We model the growth, dispersal and mutation of two phenotypes of a species using reaction-diffusion equations, focusing on the biologically realistic case of small mutation rates. After verifying that the addition of a small linear mutation…
