Impacts of seasonality and parasitism on honey bee population dynamics
Jun Chen, Jordy O Rodriguez Rincon, Gloria DeGrandi-Hoffman +3
The honeybee plays an extremely important role in ecosystem stability and diversity and in the production of bee pollinated crops. Honey bees and other pollinators are under threat…
Dynamics of Social Interactions and Agent Spreading in Social Insects Colonies: Effects of Environmental Events and Spatial Heterogeneity
Xisohui Guo, Jun Chen, Asma Azizi +2
The relationship between division of labor and individuals' spatial behavior in social insect colonies provides a useful context to study how social interactions influence the spre…
Co-evolutionary dynamics of a host-parasite interaction model: obligate versus facultative social parasitism
Yun Kang, Jennifer Harrison Fewell
To examine the co-evolution of quantitative traits in hosts and parasites, we present and study a co-evolutionary model of a social parasite-host system that incorporates (1) ecolo…
Mathematical Modeling on Obligate Mutualism: Interactions between leaf-cutter ants and their fungus garden
Yun Kang, Michael Makiyama, Rebecca Clark +1
We propose a simple mathematical model by applying Michaelis-Menton equations of enzyme kinetics to study the mutualistic interaction between the leaf cutter ant and its fungus gar…
