Dynamics of a Diffusive Nutrient-Phytoplankton-Zooplankton Model with Spatio-temporal Delay
(SIAM, 2021-01)We study a diffusive nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton (NPZ) model with spatio-temporal delay. The closed nature of the system allows the formulation of a conservation law of biomass that governs the ecosystem. We advance ... -
A Model for Shear Response in Swimming Plankton
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-11)The responses of zooplankton to the hydrodynamic variables of their environment, such as shear, are not well understood. We examine stochastic swimming models of the run and tumble type for plankton moving in a velocity ... -
An Npz Model With State-Dependent Delay Due To Size-Structure In Juvenile Zooplankton
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2016)The study of planktonic ecosystems is important as they make up the bottom trophic levels of aquatic food webs. We study a closed nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton (NPZ) model that includes size structure in the juvenile ...
