We report on the use of a spatially explicit model and clustering analysis in order to investigate habitat manipulation as a strategy to regulate natural population densities of the insect-pest Diabrotica speciosa. Habitat ...

Endosymbiosis is a type of symbiosis where one species of microscopic scale inhabits the cell of another species of a larger scale, such that the exchange of metabolic byproducts produces mutual benefit. These benefits can ...

Current methods of meat production are related to many environmental problems. Since the beginning of the last century, the in vitro production of cellular tissues has been speculated, and in 2013 the first bovine hamburger ...

We study the spreading of contagious diseases in a population of constant size using susceptible-infective-recovered (SIR) models described in terms of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and probabilistic cellular ...

This study focused on representing spatio-temporal patterns of fungal dispersal using cellular automata. Square lattices were used, with each site representing a host for a hypothetical fungus population. Four possible ...

We studied the effects of landscape structure on species with resource nutritional partition between the immature and adult stages by investigating how food quality and spatial structure of a landscape may affect the ...

Ozone (0(3)) is an oxidative pollutant that causes visible foliar symptoms in sensitive plants. Importantly, cellular markers induced by physiological alterations, including oxidative burst (OB), hypersensitive response-like ...
