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.

Nonlinear dynamics and chaos analysis of one-dimensional pulsating detonations

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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predator–prey model with disease infection in both populations

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.

Optical control of fish and zooplankton populations

TL;DR: Data is presented suggesting that marine pelagic food webs are primarily structured top-down by light through its effect on vision in fish, and it is shown that the abundance of zooplanktivorous fish is proportional to the vertical extension of a visual feeding habitat, represented by the inverse of the light absorbance coefficient of the water column.
