Exploiting powerful techniques from physics and mathematics, this book studies animal
movement in ecology, with a focus on epidemic spread. Pulmonary syndrome is not only …

A lattice random walk is a mathematical representation of movement through random steps
on a lattice at discrete times. It is commonly referred to as Pólya's walk when the steps occur …

This book provides a graduate-level introduction to three powerful and closely related
techniques in condensed matter physics: memory functions, projection operators, and the …

The ability to quantify when and where animals interact is key to the understanding of a
plethora of ecological processes, from the structure of social communities and predator–prey …

Random transmission events between individuals occurring at short scales control patterns
emerging at much larger scales in natural and artificial systems. Examples range from the …

Tethered motion is ubiquitous in nature, offering controlled movement and spatial
constraints to otherwise chaotic systems. The enhanced functionality and practical utility of …

A particle roaming in a potential in the presence of spatial heterogeneities such as traps or
physical barriers is a mathematical representation of a vast number of processes across …

Diffusion-mediated binding of molecules under the influence of discrete spatially confining
potentials is a commonly encountered scenario in systems subjected to explicit fields or …

A theory of coalescence of signal receptor clusters in mast cells is developed in close
connection with experiments. It is based on general considerations involving a feedback …

Rodents are reservoirs of various types of hantavirus, some of which are agents of
hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in humans. Each hantavirus is associated with a single …
