Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model with periodically varying carrying capacity

30th November 202218th November 2022 by mswailem

Authors: Mohamed Swailem, Uwe C. Täuber Abstract: We study the stochastic spatial Lotka-Volterra model for predator-prey competition subject to a periodically varying carrying capacity. The Lotka-Volterra model with on-site lattice occupation restrictions (i.e., finite local … Read more

Characterization of spiraling patterns in spatial rock-paper-scissors games

8th August 202225th April 2022 by Matthew Asker

Abstract: The spatiotemporal arrangement of interacting populations often influences the maintenance of species diversity and is a subject of intense research. Here, we study the spatiotemporal patterns arising from the cyclic competition between three species … Read more

The emergence of cooperation from a single mutant during microbial life cycles

8th August 202225th April 2022 by Matthew Asker

Abstract: Cooperative behaviour is widespread in nature, even though cooperating individuals always run the risk of being exploited by free-riders. Population structure effectively promotes cooperation given that a threshold in the level of cooperation was … Read more

Growth dynamics and the evolution of cooperation in microbial populations

8th August 202225th April 2022 by Matthew Asker

Abstract: Microbes providing public goods are widespread in nature despite running the risk of being exploited by free-riders. However, the precise ecological factors supporting cooperation are still puzzling. Following recent experiments, we consider the role … Read more

Simpson’s Paradox in a Synthetic Microbial System

8th August 202225th April 2022 by Matthew Asker

Abstract: The maintenance of “public” or “common good” producers is a major question in the evolution of cooperation. Because nonproducers benefit from the shared resource without bearing its cost of production, they may proliferate faster … Read more
