Invading and receding sharp-fronted travelling waves
TL;DR: The Fisher–Stefan model is studied, which is a generalisation of the Fisher–KPP model obtained by reformulating the Fisher-K PP model as a moving boundary problem, and its analysis has both practical value and an inherent mathematical value.

Impacts of strong Allee effect and hunting cooperation for a Leslie-Gower predator-prey system
Penghui Ye,Daiyong Wu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a Leslie-Gower predator-prey system with strong Allee effect in prey and hunting cooperation among predators, and derived the existence of saddle-node bifurcation.

Spatio-temporal self-organization of bone mineral metabolism and trabecular structure of primary bone
TL;DR: It is shown that, for a given set of reactional parameter values and certain values of the ratio of the two diffusion coefficients, there exists a set of unstable wavenumbers leading spontaneously to the development, from the homogeneous steady state, of either different types of stationary spatial patterns or more or less complex spatio-temporal expressions.
On the Development of the Turtle Scute Pattern and the Origins of its Variation
TL;DR: A novel computational approach to elucidating carapacial scute development using a combination of two mechanistically different reaction-diffusion systems together with growth reproduces scute formation in the carapace is presented.

Comparison of mathematical tumor growth models
TL;DR: This work discusses some relevant tumor growth models used in the literature showing their complexity and their modeling power and suggests some suitable models for controller design.
