Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are pluripotent cancer cells, which are less sensitive to treatments, and which can generate new tumors once transplanted into a healthy tissue environment. They have been identified in many cancers and they are the driving force of cancer growth and metastasis....

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...

Applied Functional Analysis is a branch of mathematics that lies at the intersection of pure mathematics and practical applications to real world problems. It explores the deep an intricate structures of function spaces, often infinite dimensional, and the mappings between them. This text...

Trade-offs between dispersal and reproduction are known to be important drivers of population dynamics, but their direct influence on the spreading speed of a population is not well understood. Using integrodifference equations, we develop a model that incorporates a dispersal–reproduction...

A hybrid gravity and route choice model to assess vector traffic in large-scale road networks

S. M. Fischer, M. Beck, L.-M. Herborg, M. A. Lewis
Human traffic along roads can be a major vector for infectious diseases and invasive species. Though most road traffic is local, a small number of long-distance trips can suffice to move an invasion or disease front forward. Therefore, understanding how many agents travel over long distances and...

When working with contemporary spatial ecological datasets, statistical modellers are often confronted by two major challenges: (I) the need for covariance models with the flexibility to accomodate directional patterns of anisotropy; and (II) the computational effort demanded by high-dimensional...

Migratory host vectors can maintain the high-dose refuge effect in a structured host-parasite system: the case of sea lice and salmon Evolutionary Applications
Download2020-04-15
Andrew W. Bateman, Stephanie J. Peacock, Martin Krkošek, Mark A. Lewis
Migration can reduce parasite burdens in migratory hosts, but it connects populations and can drive disease dynamics in domestic species. Farmed salmon are infested by sea louse parasites, often carried by migratory wild salmonids, resulting in a costly problem for industry and risk to wild...

In marine systems, adult populations confined to isolated habitat patches can be connected by larval dispersal. Source–sink theory provides effective tools to quantify the effect of specific habitat patches on the dynamics of connected populations. In this paper, we construct the next-generation...
