Crossed-ratchet effects and domain wall geometrical pinning

V. I. Marconi, A. B. Kolton, J. A. Capitan +5

The motion of a domain wall in a two dimensional medium is studied taking into account the internal elastic degrees of freedom of the wall and geometrical pinning produced both by…

The struggle for space: Viral extinction through competition for cells

Jose A. Cuesta, Jacobo Aguirre, Jose A. Capitan +1

The design of protocols to suppress the propagation of viral infections is an enduring enterprise, especially hindered by limited knowledge of the mechanisms through which extincti…

Catastrophic regime shifts in model ecological communities are true phase transitions

Jose A. Capitan, Jose A. Cuesta

Ecosystems often undergo abrupt regime shifts in response to gradual external changes. These shifts are theoretically understood as a regime switch between alternative stable state…

Species assembly in model ecosystems, II: Results of the assembly process

Jose A. Capitan, Jose A. Cuesta, Jordi Bascompte

In the companion paper of this set (Capitan and Cuesta, 2010) we have developed a full analytical treatment of the model of species assembly introduced in Capitan et al. (2009). Th…

Species assembly in model ecosystems, I: Analysis of the population model and the invasion dynamics

Jose A. Capitan, Jose A. Cuesta

Recently we have introduced a simplified model of ecosystem assembly (Capitan et al., 2009) for which we are able to map out all assembly pathways generated by external invasions i…

A scale-invariant model of marine population dynamics

Jose A. Capitan, Gustav W. Delius

A striking feature of the marine ecosystem is the regularity in its size spectrum: the abundance of organisms as a function of their weight approximately follows a power law over a…
