Vegetation pattern formation and community assembly under drying climate trends Open
Drying trends driven by climate change and the water stress they entail threaten ecosystem functioning and the services they provide to humans. To get a better understanding of an ecosystem response to drying trends, we study a mathematica…

 Vegetation pattern formation and community assembly under drying climate trends Open
Drying trends driven by climate change and water stress pose significant threats to ecosystem functioning and the services they provide to humanity. To better understand ecosystem response to drying trends, we study a mathematical model of…

Can spatial self-organization inhibit evolutionary adaptation? Open
Plants often respond to drier climates by slow evolutionary adaptations from fast-growing to stress-tolerant species. These evolutionary adaptations increase the plants’ resilience to droughts but involve productivity losses that bear on a…

Phenotypic plasticity: A missing element in the theory of vegetation pattern formation Open
Regular spatial patterns of vegetation are a common sight in drylands. Their formation is a population-level response to water stress that increases water availability for the few via partial plant mortality. At the individual level, plant…

Evidence for scale-dependent root-augmentation feedback and its role in halting the spread of a pantropical shrub into an endemic sedge Open
Vegetation pattern formation is a widespread phenomenon in resource-limited environments, but the driving mechanisms are largely unconfirmed empirically. Combining results of field studies and mathematical modeling, empirical evidence for …

Linking spatial self-organization to community assembly and biodiversity Open
Temporal shifts to drier climates impose environmental stresses on plant communities that may result in community reassembly and threatened ecosystem services, but also may trigger self-organization in spatial patterns of biota and resourc…

Linking spatial self-organization to community assembly and biodiversity Open
Drier climates impose environmental stresses on plant communities that may result in community reassembly and threatened ecosystem services, but also may trigger self-organization in spatial patterns of biota and resources, which act to re…

Chimera patterns in three-dimensional locally coupled systems Open
The coexistence of coherent and incoherent domains, namely the appearance of chimera states, is being studied extensively in many contexts of science and technology since the past decade, though the previous studies are mostly built on the…

Supplementary material from "Enhancing synchrony in multiplex network due to rewiring frequency" Open
Most of the previous studies on synchrony in multiplex networks have been investigated using different types of intralayer network architectures which are either static or temporal. Effect of a temporal layer on intralayer synchrony in a m…

Chimera states in two-dimensional networks of locally coupled oscillators Open
Chimera state is defined as a mixed type of collective state in which synchronized and desynchronized subpopulations of a network of coupled oscillators coexist and the appearance of such anomalous behavior has strong connection to diverse…

Chimera states: Effects of different coupling topologies Open
Collective behavior among coupled dynamical units can emerge in various forms\nas a result of different coupling topologies as well as different types of\ncoupling functions. Chimera states have recently received ample attention as a\nfasc…

Imperfect traveling chimera states induced by local synaptic gradient coupling Open
In this paper, we report the occurrence of chimera patterns in a network of neuronal oscillators, which are coupled through local, synaptic gradient coupling. We discover a new chimera pattern, namely the imperfect traveling chimera state,…

Chimera states in bursting neurons Open
We study the existence of chimera states in pulse-coupled networks of bursting Hindmarsh-Rose neurons with nonlocal, global, and local (nearest neighbor) couplings. Through a linear stability analysis, we discuss the behavior of the stabil…
