Abstract: Density-dependent mortality can regulate local populations – effectively minimizing the likelihood of local extinctions and unchecked population growth. It is considered particularly important for many marine reef organisms with demographically open populations that lack potential… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract This paper is concerned with a asymptotically almost periodic Nicholson’s blowflies model involving a nonlinear density-dependent mortality term.By combining Lyapunov function method with differential inequality techniques, some novel sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13652
Abstract: Tree mortality is an important ecological process influencing multiple functions of forest ecosystems. Previous studies have shown two basic size–mortality patterns, including a competition‐driven declining and a disturbance‐driven increasing mortality rate with tree size. Subtropical… read more here.
