Information on Earth's biodiversity is increasingly collected using DNA-, image- and audio-based sampling. At the same time, new statistical analysis methods are being developed to make more out of ...

"Using optimal control techniques in a model with realistic hydrology features, we illustrated how to adjust the flow rate in a river to keep an invasive species from moving upstream." Mathematical ...

In the frigid ocean surrounding Antarctica, the water boils over as seabirds dive from above and marine animals like seals ...

Biosecurity efforts focused on the top 3% of farms in a particular contact network may significantly cut back cross-species disease dissemination. A new mathematical model from researchers at North ...

In a recent study, scientists from the department Living Matter Physics at MPI-DS developed a model describing communication pathways in bacterial populations. Bacteria show an overall organizational ...

Knowing how wildlife populations change is decisive for improving the management and conservation of biodiversity. The complexity of fieldwork—logistics, capture and marking of individuals, recaptures ...
