...and the other, also featuring Valeria Giunta from ShefMathBio, is on bifurcations in a two-species nonlocal advection-diffusion system arxiv.org/abs/2305.14954

Weakly nonlinear analysis of a two-species non-local...

Nonlocal interactions are ubiquitous in nature and play a central role in many biological systems. In this paper, we perform a bifurcation analysis of a widely-applicable advection-diffusion model...

Movement is a key mechanism of space use patterns and distributions, but how do movement mechanisms give rise to these emergent spatial patterns? Can we predict? In @AnimalEcology we provide new guide how to do this, starting from step selection analysis. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

How to scale up from animal movement decisions to spatiotemporal patterns: An approach via step...

Understanding how movement decisions affect the spatial distributions of individual animals, populations and species is fundamental for explaining and predicting animal space use. Here, the authors...
