We present a solid theoretical foundation for interpreting the origin of Allee effects by providing the missing link in understanding how local individual-based mechanisms translate to global population dynamics. Allee effects were originally propose... Read More about Unpacking the Allee effect: determining individual-level mechanisms that drive global population dynamics.

Population Dynamics with Threshold Effects Give Rise to a Diverse Family of Allee Effects (2020)

The Allee effect describes populations that deviate from logistic growth models and arises in applications including ecology and cell biology. A common justification for incorporating Allee effects into population models is that the population in que...

New travelling wave solutions of the Porous–Fisher model with a moving boundary (2020)
Journal Article

We examine travelling wave solutions of the Porous-Fisher model, ϑtu(x,t) = u(x,t)[1 u(x,t)] + ϑx [u(x,t)ϑxu(x,t)], with a Stefan-like condition at the moving front, x = L(t). Travelling wave solutions of this model have several novel characteristics... Read More about New travelling wave solutions of the Porous–Fisher model with a moving boundary.
