TL;DR: Using the model of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection in mice, evidence is provided that slowly replicating strains induce weaker cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses than a more rapidly replicating strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Permanent coexistence in general models of three interacting species.
V. Hutson,Richard Law +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that with the exception of one class of cases, which is a generalization of a classical example of May and Leonard, invasibility at each such equilibrium suitably interpreted is both necessary and sufficient for a strong form of coexistence to hold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Building trophic modules into a persistent food web
TL;DR: It is shown that IGP modules, which convey internal persistence because of the fact that prey are superior competitors for the resources, are overrepresented in the Caribbean ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution under interspecific competition: field experiments on terrestrial salamanders.
TL;DR: Field experiments are described testing hypotheses concerning the course of evolution under the pressure of interspecific competition, one of the most widely held theories in evolutionary ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large Diffusivity and Asymptotic Behavior in Parabolic Systems.
TL;DR: For reaction-diffusion equations with Neumann boundary conditions, it was shown in this article that the solutions are asymptotic to the solutions of an ordinary differential equation if the diffusivity is large.
