Biodiversity is declining at alarming rates worldwide, including for large wild mammals. It is therefore imperative to develop effective population conservation and recovery strategies. Population dynamics models can provide insights into…
Modern ecology has re-emphasized the need for a quantitative understanding of the original 'survival of the fittest theme' based on analyzis of the intricate trade-offs between competing evolutionary strategies that characterize the…
In any ecosystem, the conditions of the environment and the characteristics of the species that inhabit it are entangled, co-evolving in space and time. We introduce a model that couples active agents with a dynamic environment, interpreted…
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies presents both unprecedented opportunities and significant challenges for sustainable economic development. While AI offers transformative potential for addressing…
Unsustainable land-use practices in ecologically sensitive regions threaten biodiversity, water resources, and the livelihoods of millions. This paper presents a deep reinforcement learning (RL) framework for optimizing land-use allocation…
The ecosystem considered in this study is the outcome of a lengthy sequence of historical and ecological events. Patagonia's indigenous fauna comprises survivors of five significant extinction events, with the notable presence of the puma…
We propose a data-driven framework to enable the modeling and optimization of human-machine interaction processes, e.g., systems aimed at assisting humans in decision-making or learning, work-load allocation, and interactive advertising.…
The introduction of mongooses from Indian subcontinent to Amami Oshima Island, Japan, aimed at controlling the population of venomous Habu snakes, has led to significant ecological disruptions, raising concerns about the long-term…
This paper presents an integrated modelling assessment that estimated the sensitivities of five endogenous factors in commercial rangelands, i.e. number of active farmers, profits, stocking rate, standing herbage biomass, and soil erosion,…
Preserving biodiversity and ecosystem stability is a challenge that can be pursued through modern statistical mechanics modeling. Here we introduce a variational maximum entropy-based algorithm to evaluate the entropy in a minimal ecosystem…
We explore how physical scale and population size shape the emergence of complex behaviors in open-ended ecological environments. In our setting, agents are unsupervised and have no explicit rewards or learning objectives but instead evolve…
Humans are increasingly stressing ecosystems via habitat destruction, climate change and global population movements leading to the widespread loss of biodiversity and the disruption of key ecological services. Ecosystems characterized…
Ecosystems are governed by dynamic processes such as competition for resources, reproduction and dispersal. These shape their biodiversity and how the system responds to change. Current approaches to modelling ecosystems, especially plants,…
Feeding a larger and wealthier global population without transgressing ecological limits is increasingly challenging, as rising food demand (especially for animal products) intensifies pressure on ecosystems, accelerates deforestation, and…
We study a model ecosystem by means of dynamical techniques from disordered systems theory. The model describes a set of species subject to competitive interactions through a background of resources, which they feed upon. Additionally…
African elephants are vital to their ecosystems, but their populations are threatened by a rise in human-elephant conflict and poaching. Monitoring population dynamics is essential in conservation efforts; however, tracking elephants is a…
Ecosystem restoration is a paramount policy priority for this decade, with ambitious global and European targets requiring unprecedented levels of data-driven implementation. Achieving effective and equitable restoration, particularly for…
In the context of climate change and significant changes in human activities around the world, coral reefs are subject to many disruptions. We develop here a tool to help decision-making in Moorea (French Polynesia), based on multi-agent…
A central goal in ecology is to understand how biodiversity is maintained. Previous theoretical works have employed the rock-paper-scissors (RPS) game as a toy model, demonstrating that population mobility is crucial in determining the…
Achieving a just and sustainable transition requires the pursuit of multiple social and environmental targets. Two primary barriers impede this process: (1) targets are often in conflict with each other, and (2) policies aimed at these…
