Individual-based modeling and ecology
Volker Grimm,Steven F. Railsback +1 more
TL;DR: An excellent introduction and overview of this field, written by Volker Grimm and Steven F. Railsback, should be read by everyone interested in individual-based modeling and especially by anyone contemplating developing, or being involved with a group developing, an individualbased model.

How generation intervals shape the relationship between growth rates and reproductive numbers.
Jacco Wallinga,Marc Lipsitch +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that by taking the generation interval distribution equal to the observed distribution, it is possible to obtain an empirical estimate of the reproductive number and obtain an upper bound to the range of possible values that the reproductiveNumber may attain for a given growth rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detritus, trophic dynamics and biodiversity
John C. Moore,Eric L. Berlow,David C. Coleman,Quan Dong,Nancy Collins Johnson,Kevin S. McCann,Kim Melville,Peter J. Morin,Amy D. Rosemond,David M. Post,John L. Sabo,Michael J. Vanni,Diana H. Wall +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an integrative framework for understanding the impact of detritus on food web dynamics, emphasizing the ontogeny and heterogeneity of detribus and the various ways that explicit inclusion of the detrital dynamics alters generalizations about the structure and functioning of food webs.

TL;DR: The Stics model as mentioned in this paper is a model developed at INRA (France) since 1996 to simulate crop growth as well as soil water and nitrogen balances driven by daily climatic data.
Journal ArticleDOI
How should we define ‘fitness’ for general ecological scenarios?
TL;DR: The core idea being that there exists a unique general fitness measure that concisely summarizes the overall time course of potential invasions by initially rare mutant phenotypes is summarized.
