Stochastic dynamics of a plankton model with zooplankton selectivity and nutritional value of phytoplankton
In this paper, we study the stochastic dynamics of a preferred phytoplankton (PP)–nonpreferred phytoplankton (NP)–zooplankton (Z) model with...

Phytoplankton-chytrid-zooplankton dynamics via a reaction–diffusion–advection mycoloop model
Mycoloop is an important aquatic food web composed of phytoplankton, chytrids (one dominant group of parasites in aquatic ecosystems), and...

Analysis of a Stochastic Phytoplankton–Zooplankton Model under Non-degenerate and Degenerate Diffusions
Phytoplankton is an important indicator organism to evaluate the quality of water environment, which may reflect the nutritional level of the sea...

A Mathematical Model of Intraguild Predation with Prey Refuge and Competitive Predators
In this paper, we consider an intraguild predation model with Holling type I functional response incorporating prey refuge and competitive predators....

Theory of Stoichiometric Intraguild Predation: Algae, Ciliate, and Daphnia
Consumers respond differently to external nutrient changes than producers, resulting in a mismatch in elemental composition between them and...

Stoichiometric knife-edge model on discrete time scale
Ecological stoichiometry is the study of the balance of multiple elements in ecological interactions and processes (Sterner and Elser in Ecological...

Modeling the dynamics of woody plant–herbivore interactions with age-dependent toxicity
In this paper we study the effects that woody plant chemical defenses may have on interactions between boreal hares that in winter feed almost...

Law of the Minimum Paradoxes
The “Law of the Minimum” states that growth is controlled by the scarcest resource (limiting factor). This concept was originally applied to plant or...

Optimal allocation of building blocks between nutrient uptake systems in a microbe
A bacterial cell must distribute its molecular building blocks among various types of nutrient uptake systems. If the microbe is to maximize its...

A physical-biological coupled model for algal dynamics in lakes
A coupled model is presented for simulating physical and biological dynamics in fresh water lakes. The physical model rests upon the assumption that...

Biophysical Ecology: An Introduction to Organism Response to Environment
The direct effects of environmental factors on the physiology and behavior of individuals comprise the building blocks upon which ecology is based....

Individuals and laboratory populations
The basic strategy of the structured approach to population dynamics, as advocated in these notes, starts from mechanistic considerations on the...
