The inclusion of behavioral components in the analysis of a community can be of paramount
importance in marine ecology. Diel (ie, 24-h based), seasonal activity rhythms, or longer …

A type of superhydrophobic surface consists of a solid plane boundary with an array of
grooves which, due to the effect of surface tension, prevent a complete wetting of the wall. The …

The physical behavior of a class of mesoscopic models for multiphase flows is analyzed in
details near interfaces. In particular, an extended pseudopotential method is developed, …

We present a mesoscopic model, based on the Boltzmann equation, for the interaction between
a solid wall and a nonideal fluid. We present an analytic derivation of the contact angle …

An approach based on a lattice version of the Boltzmann kinetic equation for describing
multiphase flows in nano-and microcorrugated devices is proposed. We specialize it to describe …

We outline key mechanisms by which fishing can change the shoaling tendency and collective
behaviour of exploited species – an issue that is rarely considered and poorly understood…

In some cases water droplets can completely wet microstructured superhydrophobic surfaces.
The dynamics of this rapid process is analyzed by ultrahigh-speed imaging. Depending …

We present a mathematical formulation of kinetic boundary conditions for lattice Boltzmann
schemes in terms of reflection, slip, and accommodation coefficients. It is analytically and …

The Norway lobster is one of the most important commercial crustaceans in Europe. A detailed
knowledge of the behaviour of this species is crucial in order to optimize fishery yields, …

Climate change and biological invasions are rapidly reshuffling species distribution,
restructuring the biological communities of many ecosystems worldwide. Tracking these …
