Antagonistic coinfection in rock-paper-scissors models during concurrent epidemics

J. Menezes, R. Menezes, S. Batista +1

We investigate the dynamics of dual disease epidemics within the spatial rock-paper-scissors model. In this framework, individuals from all species are equally susceptible to infec…

Spatial patterns and biodiversity in rock-paper-scissors models with regional unevenness

J. Menezes, M. Tenorio

Climate changes may affect ecosystems destabilising relationships among species. We investigate the spatial rock-paper-scissors models with a regional unevenness that reduces the s…

Impact of reproduction-mobility trade-off on biodiversity in rock-paper-scissors models in changing environmental conditions

J. Menezes, E. Rangel

We investigate a tritrophic system in which organisms' energy depletion, resulting from failed selection attempts, leads to a partial loss of capacity to win the cyclic spatial gam…

Spatial dynamics of synergistic coinfection in rock-paper-scissors models

J. Menezes, E. Rangel

We investigate the spatial dynamics of two disease epidemics reaching a three-species cyclic model. Regardless of their species, all individuals are susceptible to being infected w…

Mobility restrictions in response to local epidemic outbreaks in rock-paper-scissors models

J. Menezes

We study a three-species cyclic model whose organisms are vulnerable to contamination with an infectious disease which propagates person-to-person. We consider that individuals of…

Trade-off between reproduction and mobility prolongs organisms' survival in rock-paper-scissors models

J. Menezes, E. Rangel

We study the spatial rock-paper-scissors model, where resource competitors' cyclic dominance impacts organisms' energy levels. Our model assumes that failed selection interactions…

Locally adaptive aggregation of organisms under death risk in rock-paper-scissors models

J. Menezes, E. Rangel

We run stochastic simulations of the spatial version of the rock-paper-scissors game, considering that individuals use sensory abilities to scan the environment to detect the prese…

Spatial organisation plasticity reduces disease infection risk in rock-paper-scissors models

J. Menezes, S. Batista, E. Rangel

We study a three-species cyclic game system where organisms face a contagious disease whose virulence may change by a pathogen mutation. As a responsive defence strategy, organisms…

Adaptive altruistic strategy in cyclic models during an epidemic

J. Menezes, B. Ferreira, E. Rangel +1

We investigate a cyclic game system where organisms face an epidemic beyond being threatened by natural enemies. As a survival strategy, individuals of one out of the species usual…

Adaptive movement strategy may promote biodiversity in the rock-paper-scissors model

J. Menezes, M. Tenorio, E. Rangel

We study the role of the adaptive movement strategy in promoting biodiversity in cyclic models described by the rock-paper-scissors game rules. We assume that individuals of one ou…

Combination of survival movement strategies in cyclic game systems during an epidemic

E. Rangel, B. Moura, J. Menezes

Disease outbreaks affect many ecosystems threatening species that also fight against other natural enemies. We investigate a cyclic game system with species, whose organisms ou…

Aggregation as an antipredator strategy in the rock-paper-scissors model

J. Menezes, E. Rangel, B. Moura

We study a nonhierarchical tritrophic system, whose predator-prey interactions are described by the rock-paper-scissors game rules. In our stochastic simulations, individuals may m…
