We define the minimum viable metapopulation (MVM) size as the minimum number of interacting
local populations necessary for long-term persistence of a metapopulation in a balance …

The ontogenetic scaling of foraging capacity strongly influences the competitive ability of
differently sized individuals within a species. We develop a physiologically structured model to …

This article describes two general metapopulation models with spatial variation in the sizes
of habitat patches. The first model is a simple, nonstructured model that includes the …

Two patterns in the distribution of species have become firmly but independently established
in ecology: the species-area curve, which describes how rapidly the number of species …

We define a fitness concept applicable to structured metapopulations consisting of infinitely
many equally coupled patches. In addition, we introduce a more easily calculated quantity R …

Robustness of coexistence against changes of parameters is investigated in a model-independent
manner by analyzing the feedback loop of population regulation. We define …

BODIL is a molecular modeling environment geared to help the user to quickly identify key
features of proteins critical to molecular recognition, especially (1) in drug discovery …

This paper is as much about a certain modelling methodology, as it is about the constructive
definition of future population states from a description of individual behaviour and an initial …

We describe and analyse a general metapopulation model, which consists of a model of local
dynamics within a habitat patch, and balance equations for dispersing individuals and the …

A nonlinear structured cell population model of tumor growth is considered. The model
distinguishes between two types of cells within the tumor: proliferating and quiescent. Within each …
