Optimizing Metapopulation Sustainability through a Checkerboard Strategy
The persistence of a spatially structured population is determined by the rate of dispersal among habitat patches. If the local dynamic at the subpopulation level is extinction-prone, the system viability is maximal at intermediate connectivity where recolonization is allowed, but full synchronization that enables correlated extinction is forbidden. Here we developed and used an algorithm for a...
متن کاملA Method for Optimizing a Metapopulation
Metapopulations are a popular way to gain an abstract model of a certain species in a scattered landscape. These models can be used for analytical questions concerning the viability of the modeled species. Several applications exist that evaluate metapopulations concerning their persistence, e.g. Meta-X. There is a strong interest in discovering modifications of the environment, that have a pos...
متن کاملDesynchronization and sustainability of noisy metapopulation cycles
The apparent stability of population oscillations in ecological systems is a long-standing puzzle. A generic solution for this problem is suggested here. The stabilizing mechanism involves the combined effect of spatial migration, amplitude-dependent frequency, and noise: small differences between spatial patches, induced by the noise, are amplified by the frequency gradient. Migration among de...
متن کاملBiosimilars as a strategy to improve sustainability
It is clearly acknowledged that competition between branded drugs and lower impact strategies (biosimilars and generics) might potentially represent a key driver to bend cancer-cost curve in the forthcoming future. In this regard, regulatory agencies (European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Food and Drug Administration) moved towards developing a specific pathway for the approval of biosimilars, al...
متن کاملFolding a Better Checkerboard
Folding an n× n checkerboard pattern from a square of paper that is white on one side and black on the other has been thought for several years to require a paper square of semiperimeter n. Indeed, within a restricted class of foldings that match all previous origami models of this flavor, one can prove a lower bound of n (though a matching upper bound was not known). We show how to break throu...
