Modeling Environmental Impacts of Plankton Reservoirs on Cholera Population Dynamics
Cholera remains a major public health problem with significant mortality, and numerous re-emergences have been observed in the last decade in many developing countries. Previous analyses have suggested a complex process for cholera disease emergence and spread, particularly related to environmental factors associated to aquatic habitats. To disentangle the complexity of these ecological and epi...
متن کاملModels for adaptive feeding and population dynamics in plankton
Traditionally, differential-equation models for population dynamics have considered organisms as “fixed” entities in terms of their behaviour and characteristics. However, there have been many observations of adaptivity in organisms, both at the level of behaviour and as an evolutionary change of traits, in response to the environmental conditions. Taking such adaptiveness into account alters t...
متن کاملThe Effects of Lagrangian vs. Population Dynamics on Plankton Patchiness Generation
The relative importance of Lagrangian and population dynamics on spatial pattern formation in the distribution of plankton near the ocean’s surface is investigated. Phytoplankton and zooplankton are treated as biologically interacting tracers that are passively advected by a divergence-free two-dimensional nonsteady velocity field. The time-dependence of this field is assumed to be quasiperiodi...
متن کاملPlankton dynamics and mesoscale turbulence
In aquatic ecosystems, primary production (the transformation of inorganic materials and light into living matter by photosynthesis) is operated mainly by small, unicellular algae that float freely in the upper layers of oceans and lakes and are collectively called phytoplankton, see for an illustration the phytoplankters depicted in figure 1. Since phytoplankton need light, they are confined t...
متن کاملHidden hysteresis – population dynamics can obscure gene network dynamics
BACKGROUND Positive feedback is a common motif in gene regulatory networks. It can be used in synthetic networks as an amplifier to increase the level of gene expression, as well as a nonlinear module to create bistable gene networks that display hysteresis in response to a given stimulus. Using a synthetic positive feedback-based tetracycline sensor in E. coli, we show that the population dyna...
