Achieving baseline states in sparsely connected spiking-neural networks: stochastic and dynamic approaches in mathematical neuroscience by Antrobus, Alexander Dennis

“…Substantial insight can be gained analytically, using methods from stochastic calculus and dynamical systems theory. This can be complemented by data generated from computational simulations of these models, most of which benefit easily from parallelisation. …”

Using applied palaeoecology and participatory system dynamics modelling to investigate changes in ecosystem services in response to climate and social-ecological drivers within the... by Dirk, Cherié Janine

“…The project methodology followed a four-part structure: (1) Changes in land cover, fire, herbivory, and hydrological indicators were reconstructed using palaeoecological proxies (fossil pollen, charcoal, coprophilous spores, geochemistry, and diatoms) from two sites and associated sedimentary cores. (2) Palaeoecological data were interpreted in terms of supporting/provisioning (plant biodiversity) and regulating (water quality and soil erosion regulation) services, and (3) the drivers of these changes (climate, fire and herbivory) were analysed. (4) A pilot study used participatory system dynamics modelling to articulate dynamic feedbacks and explore future scenarios. …”

Life history and reproductive ecology of selected proteaceae in the mountain Fynbos Vegetation of the South-Western Cape by Le Maitre, David

“…The primary selective pressures in the fynbos environment are nutrient-poor soils, winter rainfall and summer drought, recurrent fires and biotic interactions. The study can be divided into four sections: (1) patterns in reproductive maturation and mortality, (2) seed bank dynamics and pre-dispersal predation by insects, (3) seed germination and seedling mortality, and (4) an analysis of the relationship between plant life-histories and fire frequency distributions. …”
