Dispersion as a destabilizing mechanism of ecosystems
Nov. 30, 2020
Ecosystems are one of the paradigmatic examples in complex systems science. A large number of species interact with each other in various ways, either by feeding upon each other, competing for the same resource, or even collaborating. But within an …
On the usefulness of restricting mobility during pandemics
Nov. 30, 2020
Pandemics caused by infectious diseases hit hardest the big cities with the highest population density. This density implies a greater number of citizens per area and therefore a greater number of contacts between citizens. On the other hand, rural areas …
