Stability and Fluctuations in Complex Ecological Systems
Eric Forgoston, Sarah Day, Peter C. de Ruiter +24
From 08-12 August, 2022, 32 individuals participated in a workshop, Stability and Fluctuations in Complex Ecological Systems, at the Lorentz Center, located in Leiden, The Netherla…
Impacts of density-dependent predation, cannibalism and fishing in a stage-structured population model of the blue crab in Chesapeake Bay
Fangming Xu, Leah B. Shaw, Junping Shi +1
The blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) is a dominant ecological species of high commercial value. Spawning stock and recruitment of the Chesapeake Bay population declined by 80% in th…
Model of pattern formation in marsh ecosystems with nonlocal interactions
Sofya Zaytseva, Junping Shi, Leah B Shaw
Smooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora is a grass species commonly found in tidal marshes. It is an ecosystem engineer, capable of modifying the structure of its surrounding enviro…
Intervention Strategies for Epidemics: Does Ignoring Time Delay Lead to Incorrect Predictions?
Adrienna Bingham, Leah B. Shaw
Our paper investigates distributions of exposed and infectious time periods in an epidemic model and how applying a disease control strategy affects the model's accuracy. While ord…
Enhancement of large fluctuations to extinction in adaptive networks
Jason Hindes, Ira B. Schwartz, Leah B. Shaw
During an epidemic, individual nodes in a network may adapt their connections to reduce the chance of infection. A common form of adaption is avoidance rewiring, where a noninfecte…
Rare Event Extinction on Stochastic Networks
Brandon S. Lindley, Leah B. Shaw, Ira B. Schwartz
We consider the problem of extinction processes on random networks with a given structure. For sufficiently large well-mixed populations, the process of extinction of one or more s…
