Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution and intraspecific exploitative competition I. One-locus theory for small additive gene effects
TL;DR: It is concluded that intraspecific competition can be a powerful force in maintaining two-allele polymorphisms, and that it can maintain high linkage disequilibrium among closely linked loci.

The role of transmissible diseases in the Holling–Tanner predator–prey model
Mainul Haque,Ezio Venturino +1 more
TL;DR: The Holling-Tanner model is revisited to account for the influence of a transmissible disease, under the assumption that it spreads among the prey species only, and the equilibria are found and analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A neural network model based on the analogy with the immune system.
TL;DR: The similarities between the immune system and the central nervous system lead to the formulation of an unorthodox neural network model that leads to prediction that the variance in the rates of firing of the neurons associated with memory should increase during waking hours, and decrease during sleep.

Partitioning of Food and Niche Characteristics of Coexisting Accipiter During Breeding
TL;DR: Etude de l'abondance des ressources et de leur utilisation par Accipiter striatus et A. cooperii dans de two zones of l'Oregon de 1969 a 1974.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coexistence: how to identify trophic trade-offs
TL;DR: H hierarchical analysis of growth response to resource availability indicates broad trophic overlap, with the implication that slow dynamics play a more important role in preserving diversity than is widely believed.
