Emerging predictable features of replicated biological invasion fronts.
Biological dispersal shapes species' distribution and affects their coexistence. The spread of organisms governs the dynamics of invasive species, the spread of pathogens, and the shifts in species ranges due to climate or environmental change. Despite its relevance for fundamental ecological processes, however, replicated experimentation on biological dispersal is lacking, and current assessme...
متن کاملHow Predictable Are Biological Sequences?
A major challenge facing computational biology is the post-sequencing analysis of patterns and motifs in genomic DNA sequences. In this study, we apply asymptotically optimal Sampled Pattern Matching predictor, recently developed by us, to analyze biological sequences (i.e., proteins and DNA). The SPM predictor for a given sequence X1; : : : ; Xn predicts the next symbol Xn+1 (or next K symbols...
متن کاملBiological invasions and host-parasite coevolution: different coevolutionary trajectories along separate parasite invasion fronts.
Host-parasite coevolution has rarely been observed in natural systems. Its study often relies on microparasitic infections introducing a potential bias in the estimation of the evolutionary change of host and parasite traits. Using biological invasions as a tool to study host-parasite coevolution in nature can overcome these biases. We demonstrate this with a cross-infection experiment in the i...
متن کاملA Hybrid Model Describing Different Morphologies of Tumor Invasion Fronts
The invasive capability is fundamental in determining the malignancy of a solid tumor. Revealing biomedical strategies that are able to partially decrease cancer invasiveness is therefore an important approach in the treatment of the disease and has given rise to multiple in vitro and in silico models. We here develop a hybrid computational framework, whose aim is to characterize the effects of...
متن کاملSpatially hybrid computations for streamer discharges with generic features of pulled fronts: I. Planar fronts
Streamers are the first stage of sparks and lightning; they grow due to a strongly enhanced electric field at their tips; this field is created by a thin curved space charge layer. These multiple scales are already challenging when the electrons are approximated by densities. However, electron density fluctuations in the leading edge of the front and non-thermal stretched tails of the electron ...
