Biological Physics and nonlinear phenomena in ecology and physiology
Research Lines
Description
The general topic of this line is the study of some biological systems, mostly under the prism of modern Systems Biology, i.e. from the tenet that most observed behavior in living systems stems from complex, emergent interactions among its constituents.
Present research topics include the dynamics of neuronal systems, with special emphasis in stochastic effects and synchronization properties, drug transport and absorption, population dynamics, phylogenetic networks and ecological structure and dynamics, including growth, aggregation processes and spatial effects, with special focus to clonal plants and savannahs.
Methods of complex network analysis, stochastic simulations, and the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems, such as delayed coupled systems, are used thoroughly.
- Universal branching in phylogenetic trees
- Effect of the topology and delay in a neuronal network
- Genetic Similarity Networks in populations and in metapopulations
- Scale-free Brain Functional Networks
- Pattern formation in a model of bugs that live, reproduce, and cluster
- Ecosystem modelling of seagrasses patch dynamics
- Clusters, exclusion and patterns in models of species competition
- Frigatebirds follow Lagrangian Coherent Structures (alternative title: Flying on top of ocean highways)
- Constructive effects of diversity in the synchronisation of a model for the circadian clock in mammals
- Far in space and yet in synchrony: a neuronal mechanism for zero-lag long-range synchronization in the brain
- International Workshop on Synchronization and Multiscale Complex Dynamics in the Brain
- Synchronization without correlation
