Strategic nomadic-colonial switching: Stochastic noise and subsidence-recovery cycles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previously, we developed a population model incorporating the Allee effect and periodic environmental fluctuations, in which organisms alternate between nomadic and colonial behaviours. This switching strategy is regulated by biological clocks and the abundance of environmental resources, and can lead to population persistence despite both behaviours being individually losing. In the present study, we consider stochastic noise models in place of the original periodic ones, thereby allowing a wider range of environmental fluctuations to be modelled. The theoretical framework is generalized to account for resource depletion by both nomadic and colonial sub-populations, and an ecologically realistic population size-dependent switching scheme is proposed. We demonstrate the robustness of the modified switching scheme to stochastic noise, and we also present the intriguing possibility of consecutive subsidence-recovery cycles within the resulting population dynamics. Our results have relevance in biological and physical systems.

Asymmetric Effects of Monetary Policy and Business Cycles in Iran using Markov-switching Models
This paper investigates the asymmetric effects of monetary policy on economic growth over business cycles in Iran. Estimating the models using the Hamilton (1989) Markov-switching model and by employing the data for 1960-2012, the results well identify two regimes characterized as expansion and recession. Moreover, the results show that an expansionary monetary policy has a positive and statist...
متن کاملStochastic amplification and signaling in enzymatic futile cycles through noise-induced bistability with oscillations.
Stochastic effects in biomolecular systems have now been recognized as a major physiologically and evolutionarily important factor in the development and function of many living organisms. Nevertheless, they are often thought of as providing only moderate refinements to the behaviors otherwise predicted by the classical deterministic system description. In this work we show by using both analyt...
متن کاملLearning to play public good games
We extend recent analyses of stochastic effects in game dynamical learning to cases of multiplayer games, and to games defined on networked structures. By means of an expansion in the noise strength we consider the weak-noise limit, and present an analytical computation of spectral properties of fluctuations in multi-player public good games. This extends existing work on two-player games. In p...
متن کاملDesign of an S-band Ultra-low-noise Amplifier with Frequency Band Switching Capability
In this paper, an ultra-low-noise amplifier with frequency band switching capability is designed, simulated and fabricated. The two frequency ranges of this amplifier consist of the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz and 3.1 GHz to 3.15 GHz frequency bands. The designed amplifier has a noise figure of less than 1dB, a minimum gain of 23 dB and a VSWR of less than 2 in the whole frequency band. The design process s...
