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...

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...

Parasite transmission between farmed and wild salmon affects the sustainability of salmon aquaculture in Pacific Canada. Understanding and managing parasites in aquaculture is challenged by spatial and temporal variation in transmission dynamics. We developed a mechanistic model that connects sea...

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...

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...

The efficacy of direct control methods in bark beetle outbreaks is a disputed topic. While some studies report that control reduces tree mortality, others see little effect. Existing models, linking control rate to beetle population dynamics and tree infestations, give insights, but there is a...

The method of inside dynamics provides a theory that can track the dynamics of neutral gene fractions in spreading populations. However, the role of mutations has so far been absent in the study of the gene flow of neutral fractions via inside dynamics. Using integrodifference equations, we...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled “Mountain pine beetle outbreak duration and pine mortality depend on direct control effort” [1]. This article provides presence of mountain pine beetle infested trees detected by the Saskatchewan Forest Service on a...
