Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological traits of declining amphibians in upland areas of eastern Australia
TL;DR: It is proposed that low ovarian clutch size is an index of low fecundity, and indicates a reduction in population resilience, making those species more susceptible to population declines and extinction than highly fecund species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two limit cycles in a Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with additive Allee effect
TL;DR: In this article, a bidimensional continuous-time differential equations system is derived from Leslie type predator-prey schemes by considering a nonmonotonic functional response and Allee effect on population prey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear dynamics and chaos analysis of one-dimensional pulsating detonations
Hoi Dick Ng,Andrew J. Higgins,Charles B. Kiyanda,Matei I. Radulescu,John H.S. Lee,K. R. Bates,Nikolaos Nikiforakis +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, results obtained from numerical simulations of the Euler equations with simple one-step Arrhenius kinetics are analyzed using basic nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring resilience in energy systems: insights from a range of disciplines
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss how different disciplines seek to measure and build resilience and explore its connection with the state or quality of a system's adaptive capacity, when the parameters of redundancy and diversity are present, resilience is enhanced.

Predator–prey model with disease infection in both populations
Ying-Hen Hsieh,Chin-Kuei Hsiao +1 more
TL;DR: The model yields more complex dynamics, allowing for the possibility of bistability and periodic oscillation, in either disease-free or endemic states, in the ecosystem for which the conditions are obtained analytically and with the help of numerical simulations.
