Hydrodynamics shapes annularity in coral reefs via scale-free growth processes
Eva Llabrés, Àlex Giménez-Romero, Tomàs Sintes +1
Atolls are traditionally explained as the result of coral reefs accreting around volcanic islands followed by gradual subsidence, yielding a hollow, ring-shaped rim that can extend…
Intermittent precipitation and spatial Allee effects drive irregular vegetation patterns in semiarid ecosystems
Àlex Giménez-Romero, Bernard A. Afful, Priscilla E. Greenwood +2
Vegetation in semi-arid ecosystems frequently organizes into spatially heterogeneous mosaics that regulate ecosystem functioning, productivity, and resilience. These patterns arise…
A compartmental model for Xylella fastidiosa diseases with explicit vector seasonal dynamics
Àlex Giménez-Romero, Eduardo Moralejo, Manuel A. Matías
The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is mainly transmitted by the spittlebug, Philaenus spumarius, in Europe, where it has caused significant economic damage to olive and almond t…
Spatial effects in parasite induced marine diseases of immobile hosts
Àlex Giménez-Romero, Federico Vazquez, Cristóbal López +1
Emerging marine infectious diseases pose a substantial threat to marine ecosystems and the conservation of their biodiversity. Compartmental models of epidemic transmission in mari…
Vector-borne diseases with non-stationary vector populations: the case of growing and decaying populations
Àlex Giménez-Romero, Rosa Flaquer-Galmés, Manuel A. Matias
Since the last century, deterministic compartmental models have emerged as powerful tools to predict and control epidemic outbreaks, in many cases helping to mitigate their impacts…
Modelling Parasite-produced Marine Diseases: The case of the Mass Mortality Event of Pinna nobilis
Àlex Giménez-Romero, Amalia Grau, Iris E. Hendriks +1
The state of the art of epidemic modelling in terrestrial ecosystems is the compartmental SIR model and its extensions from the now classical work of Kermack-Mackendrick. In contra…
