The White Oaks Laccoliths
About 12 miles to the northeast of Carrizozo lies the “ghost town” of White Oaks. This once thriving mining community rests in a small valley surrounded by three wrinkled and rounded mountain peaks: the remains of a ancient cluster of laccoliths (see attached Figure 1). To the northwest lies Lone Mountain with its associated peak, Baxter Mountain, while to the southeast lies Patos Mountain and ...
متن کاملEscape driven by -stable white noises
We explore the archetype problem of an escape dynamics occurring in a symmetric double well potential when the Brownian particle is driven by white Lévy noise in a dynamical regime where inertial effects can safely be neglected. The behavior of escaping trajectories from one well to another is investigated by pointing to the special character that underpins the noise-induced discontinuity which...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent Chemotactic Target Selection
Chemotaxis usually involves cellular motion towards an exogenous, often static, source of chemoattractant. We demonstrate an enhanced mechanism in which a single particle (the cell) releases a chemical that diffuses to fixed particles (targets) and signals the production of another chemical by the targets. This secondary chemical acts as the cell’s chemoattractant. To reach a single target, we ...
متن کاملOptimization under frequency-dependent selection.
We consider a model of frequency-dependent selection, which we refer to as the Wildcard Model. A variety of more specific models, representing quite diverse biological situations, are covered by the Wildcard Model as particular cases. Two very different particular models that are subsumed by the Wildcard Model are the game theoretically motivated two-phenotype model of Lessard [Lessard, S.,1984...
متن کاملInference from clines stabilized by frequency-dependent selection.
Frequency-dependent selection against rare forms can maintain clines. For weak selection, s, in simple linear models of frequency-dependence, single locus clines are stabilized with a maximum slope of between square root of s/square root of 8 sigma and square root of s/square root of 12 delta, where sigma is the dispersal distance. These clines are similar to those maintained by heterozygote di...
