Sustainable Diversity of Phage-Bacteria Systems
Namiko Mitarai, Anastasios Marantos, Kim Sneppen
Bacteriophages are central to microbial ecosystems for balancing bacterial populations and promoting evolution by applying strong selection pressure. Here we review some of the kno…
Emerging Diversity in a Population of Evolving Intransitive Dice
Julius B. Kirkegaard, Kim Sneppen
Exploiting the mathematical curiosity of intransitive dice, we present a simple theoretical model for co-evolution that captures scales ranging from the genome of the individual to…
From spherical chicken to the tipping points of a complex network
Gui-Yuan Shi, Rui-Jie Wu, Yi-Xiu Kong +1
The outbreak of epidemics, the emergence of the financial crisis, the collapse of ecosystem, and the explosive spreading of rumors, we face many challenges in today's world. These…
Optimal Transport Flows for Distributed Production Networks
Julius B. Kirkegaard, Kim Sneppen
Network flows often exhibit a hierarchical tree-like structure that can be attributed to the minimisation of dissipation. The common feature of such systems is a single source and…
Could short-lasting non-specific immunity explain seasonal spacing of epidemic diseases?
Gorm Gruner Jensen, Florian Uekermann, Kim Sneppen +1
Common respiratory viruses cause seasonal epidemics in sequential patterns. The underlying mechanisms for this pattern have been debated for some time. For influenza, contenders in…
Applying allometric scaling to predator-prey systems
Andreas Eilersen, Kim Sneppen
In population dynamics, mathematical models often contain too many parameters to be easily testable. A way to reliably estimate parameters for a broad range of systems would help u…
