Experimental and Theoretical Study of Carbon Dynamics in an Algal-Bacterial Co-Culture
… the algae and its transfer to bacteria. In the mathematical ecology of interacting species, competition and predator-prey dynamics have been studied more extensively than cooperation. Models that are used to describe interacting species are typically at the population level and only relatively …

The mathematical modeling and analysis of nonlocal ecological invasions and savanna population dynamics
… is the development and analysis of two new mathematical models that individually address major open problems in ecology. The first challenge is to characterize and model the processes that result in a savanna ecosystem as a stable state between grassland and forest, and the second involves …

Dynamics in Discrete Time: Successional Communities, Spatial Models, and Allee Effects
… factors is of particular relevance. Mathematical models can help analyze such population behavior, and their predictions can aid decision-making regarding species conservation, habitat design, biological control, and other matters related to ecosystem management. In this dissertation, …

Towards bioengineered ecosystems: Three studies in invasion biology
… were tested for their ability to invade, and a mathematical model was developed describing the bacterial fraction of a wheat flour dough. First, a simple experiment with a laboratory strain of Escherichia coli introduced into a traditionally propagated sourdough culture indicated that the …
