The effect of dispersal on asymptotic total population size in discrete- and continuous-time two-patch models
Many populations occupy spatially fragmented landscapes. How dispersal affects the asymptotic total population size is a key question for...

Integrating Spatial with Qualitative Data to Monitor Land Use Intensity: Evidence from Arable Land – Animal Husbandry Systems
This chapter investigates changes in land use intensity in a crop-livestock farming system on Lemnos Island through the combination of land use/land...

The Effect of Movement Behavior on Population Density in Patchy Landscapes
Many biological populations reside in increasingly fragmented landscapes, where habitat quality may change abruptly in space. Individuals adjust...

Local Overfishing Patterns Have Regional Effects on Health of Coral, and Economic Transitions Can Promote Its Recovery
Overfishing has the potential to severely disrupt coral reef ecosystems worldwide, while harvesting at more sustainable levels instead can boost fish...

Free-energy calculations in condensed matter: from early challenges to the advent of umbrella sampling
The investigation of condensed matter transformations hinges on the precision of free-energy calculations. This article charts the evolution of...

Effects of Patch–Matrix Composition and Individual Movement Response on Population Persistence at the Patch Level
Fragmentation creates landscape-level spatial heterogeneity which in turn influences population dynamics of the resident species. This often leads to...

Exploring the tradeoffs among forest planning, roads and wildlife corridors: a new approach
Protecting wildlife corridors is a common management problem in regions of industrial forestry. In boreal Canada, human disturbances have negatively...

Hybrid Threats: A European Response
This chapter looks at how the EU and NATO respond to hybrid threats. The chapter starts with a brief discussion of the hybrid terminology. It then...

Introduction
The physics problem of the mutual influences of rapidly oscillating surface gravity waves and more slowly evolving upper-ocean currents is...

Mutualism at the leading edge: insights into the eco-evolutionary dynamics of host-symbiont communities during range expansion
The evolution of mutualism between host and symbiont communities plays an essential role in maintaining ecosystem function and should therefore have...

Invasion pinning in a periodically fragmented habitat
Biological invasions can cause great damage to existing ecosystems around the world. Most landscapes in which such invasions occur are heterogeneous....

Why Historical Research Needs Mathematicians Now More Than Ever
Using the history of the calculus as an example, I identify some trends in recent scholarship and argue that the time is ripe for a “new internalism”...

Smart Farming as a Game-Changer for Regional-Spatial Planning
The present chapter deals with smart farming and its future development, related critical concerns and opportunities as well as possible strategy...

The Spiral Structure of Marshall McLuhan’s Thinking
We will make the bold assertion in this chapter that McLuhan’s philosophy of media ecology has at its roots the spiral structure. We will further...

The Interplay Between Dispersal and Allee Effects in a Two-Patch Discrete-Time Model
We consider a discrete-time two-patch model with dispersal and a nonlinear non-monotone growth rate suggesting that the population in a patch may...

Historiography of Mathematics from the Mathematician’s Point of View
Mathematicians used to be highly invested in the study of the history of their own field, but their voice in historiographical discussions has...

MCTDH-X: The Multiconfigurational Time-Dependent Hartree Method for Indistinguishable Particles High-Performance Computation Project
This report introduces the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree method for indistinguishable particles (MCTDH-X) high performance computation...

Stochastic control of ecological networks
The paper models the maintenance of ecological networks in forest environments, built from bioreserves, patches and corridors, when these grids are...

Gilles Deleuze’s The Fold: Calculus and Curvilinear Design
This chapter addresses how Gilles Deleuze’s The Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque has affected architectural design and theory. It summarizes key...
