Book ChapterDOI

The Continuous π-Calculus: A Process Algebra for Biochemical Modelling

TL;DR: The continuous π-calculus, a process algebra for modelling behaviour and variation in molecular systems, is introduced and its expressive succinctness and support for diverse interaction between agents via a flexible network of molecular affinities are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparing constitutive and induced costs of symbiont‐conferred resistance to parasitoids in aphids

TL;DR: The costs of symbiont-conferred resistance in the black bean aphid, Aphis fabae (Scopoli), which receives strong protection against the parasitoid Lysiphlebus fabarum from the defensive endosymbiont Hamiltonella defensa, are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling the ecology of symbiont-mediated protection against parasites.

TL;DR: A mathematical model based on the example of bacterial endosymbionts that protect aphids against parasitoid wasps shows that the prevalence of defensive symbionts has a strong influence on the population dynamics of hosts and parasites: population sizes are stable if and only if protected hosts dominate.
Journal ArticleDOI

On Genetic Specificity in Symbiont-Mediated Host-Parasite Coevolution

TL;DR: A quantitative index of specificity applicable to any coevolutionary model based on a fitness matrix is developed, which finds qualitative and quantitative effects of host-parasite and symbiont-Parasite specificities on genotype frequency dynamics, allele survival, and mean host and parasite fitnesses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenotypic plasticity influences the eco-evolutionary dynamics of a predator–prey system

TL;DR: Four genetically distinct strains of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were chosen that varied in their growth rate, standing levels of defense, and inducible defense to test for strain specificity of plasticity responses.
