8 quick tips for data-model integration in ecology
Laurinne J Balstad, Joe Brennan, Marissa L. Baskett +12
Theoretical ecologists have long leveraged empirical data in various forms to advance ecology. Recently increased volumes and access to ecological data present an expanding set of…
Deciphering culprits for cyanobacterial blooms and lake vulnerability in north-temperate lakes
Jacob Serpico, B. A. Zambrano-Luna, Russell Milne +3
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CBs) are increasingly prevalent worldwide, posing significant environmental and health concerns. We derive a stoichiometric model describing the popu…
Niche differentiation in the light spectrum promotes coexistence of phytoplankton species: a spatial modelling approach
Christopher M. Heggerud, King-Yeung Lam, Hao Wang
The paradox of the plankton highlights the apparent contradiction between Gause's law of competitive exclusion and the observed diversity of phytoplankton. It is well known that ph…
Coupling the socio-economic and ecological dynamics of cyanobacteria: single lake and network dynamics
Christopher M. Heggerud, Hao Wang, Mark A. Lewis
In recent decades freshwater lakes have seen an increase in human presence. A common byproduct of this human presence is eutrophication, which readily results in harmful cyanobacte…
