Pulsed interaction signals as a route to biological pattern formation
Eduardo H. Colombo, Cristóbal López, Emilio Hernández-García
We identify a mechanism for biological spatial pattern formation arising when the signals that mediate interactions between individuals in a population have pulsed character. Our g…
Network and geometric characterization of three-dimensional fluid transport between two layers
Rebeca de la Fuente, Gábor Drótos, Emilio Hernández-García +1
We consider transport in a fluid flow of arbitrary complexity but with a dominant flow direction. This is the situation encountered, for example, when analyzing the dynamics of suf…
Sinking microplastics in the water column: simulations in the Mediterranean Sea
Rebeca de la Fuente, Gábor Drótos, Emilio Hernández-García +2
We study the vertical dispersion and distribution of negatively buoyant rigid microplastics within a realistic circulation model of the Mediterranean sea. We first propose an equat…
Local characterization of transient chaos on finite times in open systems
Gábor Drótos, Emilio Hernández-García, Cristóbal López
To characterize local finite-time properties associated with transient chaos in open dynamical systems, we introduce an escape rate and fractal dimensions suitable for this purpose…
Patterns, localized structures and fronts in a reduced model of clonal plant growth
Daniel Ruiz-Reynes, Luis Martin, Emilio Hernandez-Garcia +2
A simplified model of clonal plant growth is formulated, motivated by observations of spatial structures in Posidonia oceanica meadows in the Mediterranean Sea. Two levels of appro…
A comparative study between two models of active cluster-crystals
Lorenzo Caprini, Emilio Hernàndez-Garcìa, Cristòbal Lòpez +1
We study a system of active particles with soft repulsive interactions that lead to an active cluster-crystal phase in two dimensions. We use two different modelizations of the act…
