Range residency determines how movement persistence shapes encounter rates
Anudeep Surendran, Luisa Ramirez, Justin M. Calabrese +2
Encounters between individuals link movement behavior to population-level processes such as predation and disease transmission. For many animal species, movement can be modeled as…
How animal movement influences wildlife-vehicle collision risk: a mathematical framework for range-resident species
Benjamin Garcia de Figueiredo, Inês Silva, Michael J. Noonan +4
Wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC) threaten both biodiversity and human safety worldwide. Despite empirical efforts to characterize the major determinants of WVC risk and optimize m…
Ergodicity shapes inference in biological reactions driven by a latent trajectory
Benjamin Garcia de Figueiredo, Justin M. Calabrese, William F. Fagan +1
Many natural phenomena are quantified by counts of observable events, from the annihilation of quasiparticles in a lattice to predator-prey encounters on a landscape to spikes in a…
Pulsed interactions unify reaction-diffusion and spatial nonlocal models for biological pattern formation
Eduardo H. Colombo, Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Justin M. Calabrese +2
The emergence of a spatially-organized population distribution depends on the dynamics of the population and mediators of interaction (activators and inhibitors). Two broad classes…
Movement bias in asymmetric landscapes and its impact on population distribution and critical habitat size
Vivian Dornelas, Pablo de Castro, Justin M. Calabrese +2
Ecologists have long investigated how demographic and movement parameters determine the spatial distribution and critical habitat size of a population. However, most models oversim…
Personnel Scheduling and Testing Strategy during Pandemics: The case of COVID-19
Mansoor Davoodi, Ana Batista, Abhishek Senapati +1
Efficient personnel scheduling plays a significant role in matching workload demand in organizations. However, staff scheduling is sometimes affected by unexpected events, such as…
Estimating cross-border mobility from the difference in peak-timing: A case study in Poland-Germany border regions
Abhishek Senapati, Adam Mertel, Weronika Schlechte-Welnicz +1
Human mobility contributes to the fast spatio-temporal propagation of infectious diseases. During an outbreak, monitoring the infection situation on either side of an international…
A scalable pipeline for COVID-19: the case study of Germany, Czechia and Poland
Wildan Abdussalam, Adam Mertel, Kai Fan +3
Throughout the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, decision makers have relied on forecasting models to determine and implement non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI). In…
Modeling COVID-19 optimal testing strategies in long-term care facilities: An optimization-based approach
Mansoor Davoodi, Ana Batista, Abhishek Senapati +3
Long-term care facilities have been widely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Retirement homes are particularly vulnerable due to the higher mortality risk of infected elderly indi…
Optimal Workplace Occupancy Strategies during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Mansoor Davoodi, Abhishek Senapati, Adam Mertel +2
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations (e.g. businesses, companies, government facilities, etc.) have attempted to reduce infection risk by employing partial home office…
Integrating theory and experiments to link local mechanisms and ecosystem-level consequences of vegetation patterns in drylands
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Ciro Cabal, Justin M. Calabrese +4
Self-organized spatial patterns of vegetation are frequent in drylands and, because pattern shape correlates with water availability, they have been suggested as important indicato…
How range residency and long-range perception change encounter rates
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Christen H. Fleming, Ralf Seppelt +2
Encounter rates link movement strategies to intra- and inter-specific interactions, and therefore translate individual movement behavior into higher-level ecological processes. Ind…
Online games: a novel approach to explore how partial information influences human random searches
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Justin M. Calabrese, Cristobal Lopez
Many natural processes rely on optimizing the success ratio of a search process. We use an experimental setup consisting of a simple online game in which players have to find a tar…
A maximum-entropy description of animal movement
Chris H. Fleming, Yigit Subasi, Justin M. Calabrese
We introduce a class of maximum-entropy states that naturally includes within it all of the major continuous-time stochastic processes that have been applied to animal movement, in…
Minimal mechanisms for vegetation patterns in semiarid regions
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Justin M. Calabrese, E. Hernandez-Garcia +1
The minimal ecological requirements for formation of regular vegetation patterns in semiarid systems have been recently questioned. Against the general belief that a combination of…
Optimal search in interacting populations:Gaussian jumps vs Levy flights
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Justin M. Calabrese, Cristobal Lopez
We investigated the relationships between search efficiency, movement strategy, and non-local communication in the biological context of animal foraging. We considered situations w…
Vegetation pattern formation in semiarid systems without facilitative mechanisms
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Justin M. Calabrese, Emilio Hernandez-Garcia +1
Regular vegetation patterns in semiarid ecosystems are believed to arise from the interplay between long-range competition and facilitation processes acting at smaller distances. W…
Exploring the tug of war between positive and negative interactions among savanna trees: Competition, dispersal, and protection from fire
Flora S. Bacelar, Justin M. Calabrese, Emílio Hernández-García
Savannas are characterized by a discontinuous tree layer superimposed on a continuous layer of grass. Identifying the mechanisms that facilitate this tree-grass coexistence has rem…
On the estimators of autocorrelation model parameters
C. H. Fleming, J. M. Calabrese
Estimation of autocorrelations and spectral densities is of fundamental importance in many fields of science, from identifying pulsar signals in astronomy to measuring heart beats…
Optimizing the search for resources by sharing information: Mongolian gazelles as a case study
Ricardo Martínez-García, Justin M. Calabrese, Thomas Mueller +2
We investigate the relationship between communication and search efficiency in a biological context by proposing a model of Brownian searchers with long-range pairwise interaction.…
Spatial patterns in mesic savannas: the local facilitation limit and the role of demographic stochasticity
Ricardo Martinez-Garcia, Justin M. Calabrese, Cristobal Lopez
We propose a model equation for the dynamics of tree density in mesic savannas. It considers long-range competition among trees and the effect of fire acting as a local facilitatio…
Dynamical phase coexistence: A simple solution to the "savanna problem"
F. Vazquez, C. Lopez, J. M. Calabrese +1
We introduce the concept of 'dynamical phase coexistence' to provide a simple solution for a long-standing problem in theoretical ecology, the so-called "savanna problem". The chal…
