Coupling mountain pine beetle and forest population dynamics predicts transient outbreaks that are likely to increase in number with climate change
Download2023-09-27
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) in Canada have spread well beyond their historical range. Accurate modelling of the long-term dynamics of MPB is critical for assessing the risk of further expansion and informing management strategies, particularly in the context of climate change and variable forest...

Transient dynamics often differ drastically from the asymptotic dynamics of systems. In this paper we analyze transient dynamics in birth-jump metapopulations where dispersal occurs immediately after birth (e.g., via larval dispersal). We address the choice of appropriate norms as well as...

Accurate prediction of the number of daily or weekly confirmed cases of COVID-19 is critical to the control of the pandemic. Existing mechanistic models nicely capture the disease dynamics. However, to forecast the future, they require the transmission rate to be known, limiting their prediction...

Modeling the early transmission of COVID-19 in New York and San Francisco using a pairwise network model

Shanshan Feng, Xiao-Feng Luo, Xin Pei, Zhen Jin, Mark Lewis, Hao Wang
Classical epidemiological models assume mass action. However, this assumption is violated when interactions are not random. With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, and resulting shelter in place social distancing directives, mass action models must be modified to account for limited social...

Understanding the joint impact of vaccination and non-pharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19 development is important for making public health decisions that control the pandemic. Recently, we created a method in forecasting the daily number of confirmed cases of infectious diseases by...

Simulating how animals learn: a new modelling framework applied to the process of optimal foraging
Download2022-01-01
Peter R. Thompson, Melodie Kunegel-Lion, Mark A. Lewis
Animal learning has interested ecologists and psychologists for over a century. Mathematical models that explain how animals store and recall information have gained attention recently. Central to this work is statistical decision theory (SDT), which relates information uptake in animals to...

Beyond resource selection: emergent spatio-temporal distributions from animal movements and stigmergent interactions
Download2022-03-30
Jonathan R. Potts, Valeria Giunta, Mark A. Lewis
A principal concern of ecological research is to unveil the causes behind observed spatio-temporal distributions of species. A key tactic is to correlate observed locations with environmental features, in the form of resource selection functions or other correlative species distribution models....
