Valeria Giunta, Thomas Hillen, Mark Lewis, Jonathan Potts: Positivity and global existence for nonlocal advection-diffusion models of interacting populations arxiv.org/abs/2312.09692 arxiv.org/pdf/2312.09692

...and the other, also featuring Valeria Giunta from ShefMathBio, is on bifurcations in a two-species nonlocal advection-diffusion system arxiv.org/abs/2305.14954

Two new preprints, co-authored by Jonathan Potts from the ShefMathBio group, one is on biological modelling with non-local advection arxiv.org/abs/2307.14396

New preprint: "Understanding step selection analysis through numerical integration" arxiv.org/abs/2308.15678 Our attempt at clarifying the role of "random/control/available" points when fitting step selection functions. With @NJKlappstein, Jonathan Potts, and @FiebergJohn.

One of our group members has written a free online textbook for mathematical biology, available here: sheffield.pressbooks.pub/introducingmat…

A trio of new papers from @DrAlexBest 's group on different aspects of disease modelling.

"From animal movement processes to spatial distributions" - the second Sheffield Spatial Ecology Workshop. An #interdisciplinary event to help you forge collaborations between #mathematics and #ecology research. Apply by *31st Jan*! sites.google.com/sheffield.ac.u…

Movement is a key mechanism of space use patterns and distributions, but how do movement mechanisms give rise to these emergent spatial patterns? Can we predict? In @AnimalEcology we provide new guide how to do this, starting from step selection analysis. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

New paper! Rich multistability in systems of moving, interacting populations. If 44 pages of heavy maths is daunting, skip to Fig. 6 link.springer.com/article/10.100…
