Qihua Huang, Yu Jin, Mark A. Lewis
One key issue for theory in stream ecology is how much stream flow can be changed while still maintaining an intact stream ecology, instream flow needs (IFNs); the study of determining IFNs is challenging due to the complex and dynamic nature of the interaction between the stream environment and...

To fully understand population persistence in river ecosystems, it is neces- sary to consider the effect of the water flow, which varies tremendously with seasonal fluctuations of water runoff and snow melt. In this paper, we study integrodifference models for growth and dispersal in the presence...

The study of population persistence in river ecosystems is key for understanding population dynamics, invasions, and instream flow needs. In this paper, we extend theories of persistence measures for population models in one-dimensional rivers to a benthic-drift model in two-dimensional...

Jing, Shuanglin, Xue, Ling, Wang, Hao, Peng, Zhihang
Abstract (taken from the article) Diagnostic delay for TB infected individuals and the lack of TB vaccines for adults are the main challenges to achieve the goals of WHO by 2050. In order to evaluate the impacts of diagnostic delay and vaccination for adults on prevalence of TB, we propose an...

Controlling smoking: A smoking epidemic model with different smoking degrees in deterministic and stochastic environments

Zhang, Shengqiang, Meng, Yanling, Chakraborty, Amit Kumar, Wang, Hao
Abstract (description taken from article) Engaging in smoking not only leads to substantial health risks but also imposes considerable financial burdens. To deepen our understanding of the mechanisms behind smoking transmission and to address the tobacco epidemic, we examined a five-dimensional...

Abstract (description taken from article) Fick’s law and the Fokker–Planck law of diffusion are applied to manifest the cognitive dispersal of individuals in two reaction-diffusion SEIR epidemic models, where the disease transmission is illustrated by nonlocal infection mechanisms in...

Abstract (description taken from article) Toxic cyanobacterial blooms (CBs) are becoming more frequent globally, posing a threat to freshwater ecosystems. While making long-range forecasts is overly challenging, predicting imminent CBs is possible from precise monitoring data of the underlying...

Abstract (description taken from article) Microplastics pose a severe threat to marine ecosystems; however, relevant mathematical modeling and analysis are lacking. This paper formulates two stoichiometric producer-grazer models to investigate the interactive effects of microplastics, nutrients,...

Abstract taken from the article Spatial memory is key in animal movement modeling, but it has been challenging to explicitly model learning to describe memory acquisition. In this paper, we study novel cognitive consumer-resource models with different consumer learning mechanisms and investigate...
