Back to the future: a simplified and intuitive derivation of the Lotka-Euler equation
Carlos Hernandez-Suarez
The Lotka-Euler equation is a mathematical expression used to study population dynamics and growth, particularly in the context of demography and ecology. The growth rate is th…
The fallacy of herd immunity
Carlos Hernandez-Suarez
Here we show that herd immunity is not a measure we can implement, trust, control or depend on, and that waiting for herd immunity to play a role is tantamount to hope for the best…
A simple and intuitive method to calculate in complex epidemic models
Carlos Hernandez-Suarez, Osval Montesinos Lopez
Epidemic models are a valuable tool in the decision making process. Once a mathematical model for an epidemics has been established, the very next step is calculating a mathematica…
Revised calculation of the coefficient of parentage in plant breeding
Carlos Hernandez-Suarez, Osval Montesinos Lopez
The Coefficient of Parentage (COP) between two individuals is the expected inbreeding of their offspring. Originally exploited by animal breeders, is now a routine calculation amon…
