Nisbet Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA Donald Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract It has long been recognized that variability in animal size is affected...
متن کاملSize Matters: Individual Variation in Ectotherm Growth and Asymptotic Size
Body size, and, by extension, growth has impacts on physiology, survival, attainment of sexual maturity, fecundity, generation time, and population dynamics, especially in ectotherm animals that often exhibit extensive growth following attainment of sexual maturity. Frequently, growth is analyzed at the population level, providing useful population mean growth parameters but ignoring individual...
متن کاملPre-scheduled Colony Size Variation in Dynamic Environments
The performance of the MAX -MIN ant system (MMAS) in dynamic optimization problems (DOPs) is sensitive to the colony size. In particular, a large colony size may waste computational resources whereas a small colony size may restrict the searching capabilities of the algorithm. There is a trade off in the behaviour of the algorithm between the early and later stages of the optimization process. ...
متن کاملGrowth, metabolic partitioning, and the size of microorganisms.
Population growth rate is a fundamental ecological and evolutionary characteristic of living organisms, but individuals must balance the metabolism devoted to biosynthesis and reproduction against the maintenance of existing structure and other functionality. Here we present a mathematical model that relates metabolic partitioning to the form of growth. The model captures the observed growth tr...
متن کاملModelling and Analysis of Phase Variation in Bacterial Colony Growth
We describe an investigation into spatial modelling by means of an ongoing case study, namely phase variation patterning in bacterial colony growth, forming circular colonies on a flat medium. We explore the application of two different geometries, rectangular and circular, for modelling and analysing the colony growth in 2.5 dimensions. Our modelling paradigm is that of coloured stochastic Pet...
