Permanence of a semi-ratio-dependent predator-prey system with nonmonotonic functional response and time delay.
We present a Gause type predator–prey model incorporating delay due to response of prey population growth to density and gestation. The functional response of predator is assumed to be of Holling type II. In absence of prey, predator has a density dependent death rate. Sufficient criterion for uniform persistence is derived. Conditions are found out for which system undergoes a Hopf–bifurcation.

The paper is concerned with a stochastic delay predator-prey model under regime switching. Sufficient conditions for extinction and non-persistence in the mean of the system are established. The threshold between persistence and extinction is also obtained for each population. Some numerical simulations are introduced to support our main results.
We investigate the computational structure of the biological kinship assignment problem by abstracting away all biological details that are irrelevant to computation. The computational structure depends on phenotype space, which we formally define. We illustrate this approach by exhibiting an approximation algorithm for kinship assignment in the case of the Simpson index with a priori error bound and running time that is polynomial in the bit size of the population, but exponential in phenotype...

We present models of the dynamics of phytoplankton aggregates. We start with an individual-based model in which aggregates can grow, divide, joint and move randomly. Passing to infinity with the number of individuals, we obtain a model which describes the space-size distribution of aggregates. The density distribution function satisfies a non-linear transport equation, which contains terms responsible for the growth of phytoplankton aggregates, their fragmentation, coagulation, and diffusion.
We describe the ring of constants of a specific four variable Lotka-Volterra derivation. We investigate the existence of polynomial constants in the other cases of Lotka-Volterra derivations, also in n variables.
We consider a single-species stochastic logistic model with the population's nonlinear diffusion between two patches. We prove the system is stochastically permanent and persistent in mean, and then we obtain sufficient conditions for stationary distribution and extinction. Finally, we illustrate our conclusions through numerical simulation.
