Specialization and Bet Hedging in Heterogeneous Populations
Steffen Rulands, David Jahn, Erwin Frey
Phenotypic heterogeneity is a strategy commonly used by bacteria to rapidly adapt to changing environmental conditions. Here, we study the interplay between phenotypic heterogeneit…
Range Expansion of Heterogeneous Populations
Matthias Reiter, Steffen Rulands, Erwin Frey
Risk spreading in bacterial populations is generally regarded as a strategy to maximize survival. Here, we study its role during range expansion of a genetically diverse population…
Global attractors and extinction dynamics of cyclically competing species
Steffen Rulands, Alejandro Zielinski, Erwin Frey
Transitions to absorbing states are of fundamental importance in non-equilibrium physics as well as ecology. In ecology, absorbing states correspond to the extinction of species. W…
Three-fold way to extinction in populations of cyclically competing species
S. Rulands, T. Reichenbach, E. Frey
Species extinction occurs regularly and unavoidably in ecological systems. The time scales for extinction can broadly vary and inform on the ecosystem's stability. We study the spa…
