Mathematical modelling of the movement of animals, micro-organisms and cells is of great
relevance in the fields of biology, ecology and medicine. Movement models can take many …

Mast‐seeding plants often produce high seed crops the year after a warm spring or summer,
but the warm‐temperature model has inconsistent predictive ability. Here, we show for 26 …

Complex networks of interactions are ubiquitous 1 and are particularly important in ecological
communities, in which large numbers of species exhibit negative (for example, competition …

The hypothesis that the optimal search strategy is a Lévy walk (LW) or Lévy flight, originally
suggested in 1995, has generated an explosion of interest and controversy. Long-standing …

There is limited evidence as to how COVID-19 infection fatality rates (IFR) may vary by
ethnicity. We combine demographic and health data for ethnic groupings in Aotearoa New …

As part of national biosecurity programs, cargo imports, passenger baggage, and international

In aquatic ecosystems, where organisms typically feed and grow by eating smaller individuals,
a characteristic size spectrum emerges, such that large organisms are much more rare …

Aims We aim to quantify differences in clinical outcomes from COVID-19 infection in Aotearoa
New Zealand by ethnicity with a focus on risk of hospitalisation. Methods We used data on …

The size spectrum of an ecological community characterizes how a property, such as abundance
or biomass, varies with body size. Size spectra are often used as ecosystem indicators …
