Valeria Giunta, Thomas Hillen, Mark A. Lewis, Jonathan R. Potts
Deriving emergent patterns from models of biological processes is a core concern of mathematical biology. In the context of partial differential equations, these emergent patterns sometimes appear as local minimisers of a corresponding energy functional. Here we give methods for determining the...

The “edge effect” phenomenon: deriving population abundance patterns from individual animal movement decisions
Download2016-01-01
Jonathan R. Potts, Thomas Hillen, Mark A. Lewis
Edge effects have been observed in a vast spectrum of animal populations. They occur where two conjoining habitats interact to create ecological phenomena that are not present in either habitat separately. On the individuallevel, an edge effect is a change in behavioral tendency on or near the...
