Controlling Chaos in Ecology: From Deterministic to Individual-based Models
1999
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology
The possibility of chaos control in biological systems has been stimulated by recent advances in the study of heart and brain tissue dynamics. ...
More recently, some authors have conjectured that such a method might be applied to population dynamics and even play a nontrivial evolutionary role in ecology. ...
In the first return map the sensitivity of the system to the control feedback is stronger for negative values of γ , giving raise to smaller population sizes by smoothing the single hump of the map return ...

Target-oriented chaos control
2011
Physics Letters A
We propose a simple, intuitive technique that modifies the values of the state variables directly toward a certain target. ...
Designing intervention methods to control chaotic behavior in dynamical systems remains a challenging problem, in particular for systems that are difficult to access or to measure. ...

An updated perspective on the role of environmental autocorrelation in animal populations
2015
Theoretical Ecology
We then estimated the degree of environmental autocorrelation present in the Global Population Dynamics Database using a robust, model-based approach. ...
In this study we first discuss how the autocorrelation present in environmental covariates can be reduced through nonlinear interactions or by interactions with multiple limiting resources. ...

Connectivity and complex systems: learning from a multi-disciplinary perspective
2018
Applied Network Science
However, any implementation of the concept of connectivity carries with it both ontological and epistemological constraints, which leads us to ask if there is one type or set of approach(es) to connectivity ...
We evaluate how a connectivity-based approach has generated new understanding of structural-functional relationships that characterise complex systems and propose a 'common toolbox' underpinned by network-based ...
Identifying systems or networks that have a hump-shaped structure-function relationship could yield important insights into SC-FC feedbacks and threshold dynamics (i.e. reverse changes in FC once a structural ...

Dynamic field theory of movement preparation
2002
Psychological review
The model accounts for a sizable body of empirical findings on movement initiation (continuous and graded nature of movement preparation, dependence on the metrics of the task, stimulus uncertainty effect ...
The task environment is represented by a 2nd class of fields, which preshape the movement parameter representation. ...
Those discretized dynamics are globally stable, so that the stable state is reached from any initial pattern of activation. ...

African biomes are most sensitive to changes in CO2 under recent and near-future CO2 conditions
2020
Biogeosciences
Here, we used a dynamic vegetation model, the adaptive Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (aDGVM), to study lags between actual and expected vegetation in Africa under a changing atmospheric CO2 mixing ratio ...
The speed of ecological processes such as leaf physiology, demography or migration can differ from the speed of changes in environmental conditions. ...
In simulations with fire, sensitivity of C 4 -dominated biomes is hump-shaped with a peak at ca. 380 ppm. ...

Diffusive coupling of two well-mixed compartments elucidates elementary principles of protein-based pattern formation
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Thus, the essential dynamics is the redistribution of the globally conserved mass densities between the two compartments. ...
In general, the nonlinear, spatially coupled models for protein-pattern formation are only accessible to numerical simulations, which has limited insight into the general underlying principles. ...
A systematic understanding is hard to achieve, in particular if there are multiple protein species with several conformational states involved (complex interaction network). ...

One interesting way of making these models more flexible is enriching them with a dynamic discrete latent state Markov process in such a way that the parameters can abruptly switch from one value to another ...
This happens because the smoothed states for the single-source error representation have the same dynamics as the system, while those coming from multiple-error model depend also on an additional forward ...

In this paper, we present the Changing Relief and Evolving Ecosystems Project (CREEP), a theoretical, process-response model that focuses on the redistribution of soil texture and soil carbon along a hillslope ...
Gridded biogeochemical models, which may otherwise overlook landscape heterogeneity, may use CREEP estimates of the areal distribution of soil texture as a basis for parametrically capturing trace gas ...
