Meta‐analysis reveals strong evidence for adaptive host and vector manipulation by plant viruses Open
Plant viruses often enhance their own transmission by modifying host phenotypes and vector behaviour, leading to the hypothesis that such effects are manipulations due to virus adaptations. However, few studies have linked putative manipul…

Nutrient-Driven Adaptive Evolution of Foraging Traits Impacts Producer-Grazer Dynamics Open
This study investigates the nutrient-driven adaptability of foraging efforts in producer-grazer dynamics. We develop two stoichiometric producer-grazer models: a base model incorporating a fixed energetic cost of feeding and an adaptive mo…

An exploration of the interplay between treatment and vaccination in an Age-Structured Malaria Model using non-linear ordinary differential equations Open
Malaria continues to be a significant global health challenge, particularly in tropical regions. Resistance to key antimalarial drugs is spreading, complicating treatment efforts. While progress toward eradication has been slow, the develo…

Reconciling contrasting effects of nitrogen on host immunity and pathogen transmission using stoichiometric models Open
Hosts rely on the availability of nutrients for growth, and for defense against pathogens. At the same time, changes in host nutrition can alter the dynamics of pathogens that rely on their host for reproduction. For primary producer hosts…

Data driven mixed effects modeling of the dual process framework of addiction among individuals with alcohol use disorder Open
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) comprises a continuum of symptoms and associated problems that has led AUD to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality across the globe. Given the heterogeneity of AUD from mild to severe, consideration is b…

Dead or alive: carbon as a currency to integrate disease and ecosystem ecology theory Open
Death is a common outcome of infection, but most disease models do not track hosts after death. Instead, these hosts disappear into a void. This assumption lacks critical realism, because dead hosts can alter host–pathogen dynamics. Here, …

Modeling Seasonal Malaria Transmission: A Methodology Connecting Regional Temperatures to Mosquito and Parasite Developmental Traits Open
Increasing temperatures have raised concerns over the potential effect on disease spread. Temperature is a well known factor affecting mosquito population dynamics and the development rate of the malaria parasite within the mosquito, and c…

Using agent-based models to predict pollen deposition in a dioecious crop Open
Pollination involves complex interactions between plants and pollinators, and variation in plant or pollinator biology can lead to variability in pollination services that are difficult to predict. Models that effectively predict pollinati…

Changing elemental cycles, stoichiometric mismatches, and consequences for pathogens of primary producers Open
Human‐induced changes in biogeochemical cycles alter the availability of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in the environment, leading to changes in the elemental stoichiometry of primary producers. These changes in elemental rat…
