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

Nonlocal interactions are ubiquitous in nature and play a central role in many biological systems. In this paper, we perform a bifurcation analysis of a widely-applicable advection-diffusion model...

One of our group members has written a free online textbook for mathematical biology, available here:
sheffield.pressbooks.pub
An interactive textbook for anyone who is interested in mathematical modelling of biological systems.
🚨🚨New textbook alert!!🚨🚨 Introducing Mathematical Biology: An Open Education Resource https://t.co/StHMYGIyhd Key points: * It's FREE * It's interactive * It's accessible * It's...standard math-bio content for undergrads but did I mention it's FREE?

A trio of new papers from @DrAlexBest 's group on different aspects of disease modelling.
In what we can safely assume is a never-to-be-repeated event I have had 3 papers published in the last fortnight (context: I had 0 pubs in the whole of 2022). A brief summary of each below 👇

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. https://t.co/pGF4QzllXP

Understanding how movement decisions affect the spatial distributions of individual animals, populations and species is fundamental for explaining and predicting animal space use. Here, the authors...

New(ish) paper! On reproductive trade-offs, led excellently by @SamCPatrick and a great team of collaborators (incl. one Sheffield academic!)
onlinelibrary.wiley.com
The temporality in reproductive investment hypothesis, proposed here for the first time, predicts that individuals will pay the costs of reproduction over different time scales. Our results show...

New paper! Energy-based step selection. Led by @NJKlappstein and in collaboration with @lucaborger, @Mark_Alun_Lewis and others
besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
The energy selection function proposes energy as the link between animal movement (constrained by costs) and resource selection (motivated by gains). We present the first joint analysis of the...
