The Evolutionary Effects of Fishing: Implications for Stock Management and Rebuilding
… differential survival and reproductive success based, in part, upon individual phenotypic variability. Fishing is a source of directional selection resulting in the directed removal of some phenotypes; however, many aspects of the evolutionary effects of fishing remain have yet to be described. …

New-generation individual based models for infectious diseases transmission
… and international scale. In this context, Individual-Based simulation Models (IBM) have become one of the much relevant approaches. The crucial point of this thesis project is to override some of the limit of the current generation of IBM. Specifically, highly detailed models of the …

Computational Modeling of Bacterial Biofilms
… we improve a recently proposed three-dimensional individual-based simulation framework to uncover governing microscopic dynamics at single-cell level that drive the structural developments in growing biofilms. Our individual-based model incorporates the essential biophysical processes of cell …

Cell-cycle dependent motility of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and its collective motion in response to a Hagen-Poiseuille flow
… highly synchronised to a diurnal cycle. A simulation of gravitactic cell trajectories was developed to assist the statistical analysis of the cell trajectories from the images, which subject to a projection effect and has not been addressed previously. Its morphological changes, including …

Graph-theoretic Approach To Modeling Propagation And Control Of Network Worms
… control strategies against the worm, and (5) Simulation of the developed models and strategies on large, scale-free graphs representing real-world communication networks. The proposed pair-approximation model uses the information about the network structure--order, size, degree distribution, …

Predicting Mobile Species Response to Landscape Structure: The Roles of Spatiotemporal Pattern and Individual Dispersal
… with a general, spatially-explicit, stochastic, individual-based simulation of a continuous population coupled to static and dynamic fractal neutral landscape models generated by spectral synthesis. I assess three hypotheses: that populations will respond non-linearly to habitat loss and go …

Biotic interactions through a macroecological lens: biogeographic trends in parasitism rates and life history effects on the evolution of cooperation
… biogeographic trends. Changing tack, I use an individual-based simulation to investigate the role of life history in the evolution of cooperative behaviours (i.e. any behaviour which confers a fitness benefit to another individual). The first of these investigations is into the evolution of …

Population dynamics in meerkats, Suricata suricatta
… structured into social groups, the link between individual behaviour and population dynamics is mediated by group-level demography, and population dynamics can be strongly affected both by features of sociality per se and by resultant population structure. Notably, groups may be subject to …

Modellgestützte Untersuchungen zum Überleben einer Steinkauzpopulation (Athene noctua) in Thüringen
… Steinkauz war es Aufgabe dieser Arbeit durch ein Simulationsmodell Untersuchungen zum Überleben einer Steinkauzpopulation (Athene noctua) in Thüringen durchzuführen. Die zusammengetragenen Bestandszahlen ergaben geringe Individuenzahlen in den thüringischen Landkreisen Altenburger Land, Greiz und …
