Kolyvagin derivatives of modular points on elliptic curves (2020)
Journal Article

Let E/Q and A/Q be elliptic curves. We can construct modular points derived from A via the modular parametrisation of E. With certain assumptions we can show that these points are of infinite order and are not divisible by a prime p. In particular, u...

Predator size affects the intensity of mutual interference in a predatory mirid (2020)
Journal Article

1. Interference competition occurs when access to an available resource is negatively affected by interactions with other individuals, where mutual interference involves individuals of the same species. The interactive phenomena among individuals may... Read More about Predator size affects the intensity of mutual interference in a predatory mirid.
