Non-additive entropies and statistical mechanics at the edge of chaos: a bridge between natural and social sciences

C Tsallis - … Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The Boltzmann–Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics constitutes one of the pillars of
contemporary theoretical physics. It is constructed upon the other pillars—classical …

Frequency of occurrence and population-dynamic consequences of different forms of density-dependent emigration

RR Harman, J Goddard, R Shivaji… - The American …, 2020 - journals.uchicago.edu
Emigration is a fundamental process affecting species' local, regional, and large-scale
dynamics. The paradigmatic view in ecology is that emigration is density independent (DIE) …

Random diffusivity scenarios behind anomalous non-Gaussian diffusion

MAF dos Santos, EH Colombo, C Anteneodo - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2021 - Elsevier
The standard diffusive spreading, characterized by a Gaussian distribution with mean
square displacement that grows linearly with time, can break down, for instance, under the …

Critical patch size reduction by heterogeneous diffusion

MAF Dos Santos, V Dornelas, EH Colombo… - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
Population survival depends on a large set of factors and on how they are distributed in
space. Due to landscape heterogeneity, species can occupy particular regions that provide …

[HTML][HTML] Traveling waves for time-delayed reaction diffusion equations with degenerate diffusion

T Xu, S Ji, M Mei, J Yin - Journal of Differential Equations, 2018 - Elsevier
This paper is concerned with time-delayed reaction–diffusion equations with degenerate
diffusion. When the term for birth rate is a nonlocal integral with a heat kernel, the family of …

Interplay between scales in the nonlocal FKPP equation

GG Piva, EH Colombo, C Anteneodo - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2021 - Elsevier
We consider a generalization of the FKPP equation for the evolution of the spatial density of
a single-species population where all the terms are nonlocal. That is, the spatial extension of …

Pulsed interaction signals as a route to biological pattern formation

EH Colombo, C López, E Hernández-García - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We identify a mechanism for biological spatial pattern formation arising when the signals
that mediate interactions between individuals in a population have pulsed character. Our …

Influence of density-dependent diffusion on pattern formation in a refuge

GG Piva, C Anteneodo - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its …, 2025 - Elsevier
We investigate a nonlocal generalization of the Fisher–KPP equation, which incorporates
logistic growth and diffusion, for a single species population in a viable patch (refuge). In this …

Nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation approach to systems of interacting particles: thermostatistical features related to the range of the interactions

AR Plastino, RS Wedemann - Entropy, 2020 - mdpi.com
Nonlinear Fokker–Planck equations (NLFPEs) constitute useful effective descriptions of
some interacting many-body systems. Important instances of these nonlinear evolution …

Movement bias in asymmetric landscapes and its impact on population distribution and critical habitat size

V Dornelas, P de Castro, JM Calabrese… - …, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Ecologists have long investigated how demographic and movement parameters determine
the spatial distribution and critical habitat size of a population. However, most models …
