Ensemble behaviour in population processes with applications to ecological systems∗
We study Markovian models for population processes in continuous time, addressing questions concerning the behaviour of ensembles of individuals (equilibrium, quasiequilibrium and time-dependent behaviour), and in particular what can be deduced from models for individual behaviour.
متن کاملParasitoid behaviour: predicting field from laboratory
1. Most of what is known about parasitoid behaviour comes from laboratory observations: field quantitative observations on searching parasitoids are extremely difficult to do and are rare. The basic components of Aphytis melinus’s response to California red scale (Aonidiella aurantii) were studied in the laboratory: encounter, rejection, drumming, probing, oviposition, and hostfeeding. It was t...
متن کاملSearching Saturation in eA Processes
The high density effects should be manifest at small x and/or large nuclei. In this letter we consider the behavior of nuclear structure function F 2 slope in the kinematic region which could be explored in the future eA colliders as a search of these effects. We verify that the high density implies that the maximum value of the slope occurs at large values of the photon virtuality, i. e. in a ...
متن کاملGrowing Neurobiological Links to Genetics, Environment and Behaviour
Autism Spectrum Disorders-A Rapidly Increasing Problem of Western Society: Autism comprises a spectrum of severe neurodevelopmental disorders of increasing incidence characterized by profound language impairment, impaired socialization, repetitive motor behaviour, sensory disturbances, severely restricted interests and self injury. There is also a high association with seizure disorder. Autism'...
متن کاملSugar in moderation: sugar diets affect short-term parasitoid behaviour
The biological control potential of parasitic wasps in the field is expected to increase with the provisioning of sugar sources, which increase longevity and replenish carbohydrate reserves. Apanteles aristoteliae is an important parasitoid of Argyrotaenia franciscana, the orange tortrix, an economic pest in fruit crops. In the present study, the effect of sugar diet on the physiological status...
