    Lotka–Volterra model with Allee effect: equilibria, coexistence and size scaling of maximum and minimum abundance

    The Lotka–Volterra competition model (LVCM) is a fundamental tool for ecology, widely used to represent complex communities. The Allee effect (AE) is a phenomenon in which there is a positive correlation betwe...

    Combining niche and game theories to address interspecific cooperation in ecological communities

    Incorporating cooperative interspecific interactions into the classical Niche Theory has been identified as a big challenge of population and community ecology. Attempting to fill this gap I present the Lotka-...

    Develo** Quantitative Methods in Community Ecology: Predicting Species Abundances from Qualitative Web Interaction Data

    Quantitative predictions of biodiversity of human-impacted ecological communities are crucial for their management. In the case of plant–pollinator mutualistic networks, despite the great progress in describin...

    Spatial correlation as leading indicator of catastrophic shifts

    Generic early-warning signals such as increased autocorrelation and variance have been demonstrated in time-series of systems with alternative stable states approaching a critical transition. However, lag time...

    Viral quasispecies profiles as the result of the interplay of competition and cooperation

    Viral quasispecies can be regarded as a swarm of genetically related mutants. A common approach employed to describe viral quasispecies is by means of the quasispecies equation (QE). However, a main criticism ...

    The paradox of the clumps mathematically explained

    The lumpy distribution of species along a continuous one-dimensional niche axis recently found by Scheffer and van Nes (Scheffer and van Ness 2006) is explained mathematically. We show that it emerges simply from...

    U(1) Puzzle and the Strong CP Problem from a Holonomy Formulation Perspective

    We analyze the issue of a complete description of gauge field theories in termsof holonomies or nonlocal gauge invariants. In particular, we show that aformulation of QCD in terms of holonomies does not exhibi...
