Mathematical modelling plays an increasingly important role in almost any area of life sciences, and this interactive textbook focuses on the areas of population ecology, infectious diseases, immunology and cell dynamics, gene networks and pharmacokinetics.
This article starts by reviewing the differences between various measures of fitness, for example, individual fitness, absolute fitness, relative fitness and geometric mean fitness.
Three‑dimensional geometry Biological structure exists and interacts in space. Space is 3D, although from the perspective of biological organisms not Euclidean, because gravity acts in one direction on the surface of the earth, and therefore, the degrees of mobility of and interactions between terrestrial organisms are often
2 wrz 2011 · The geometric mean of relative abundance indices, G, is increasingly being used to examine trends in biological diversity and to assess whether biodiversity targets are being met. Here, we explore the mathematical and statistical properties of G that make it useful for judging temporal change in biological diversity, and we discuss its ...
5 gru 2007 · These geometric morphometric (GM) methods focus on the retention of geometric information throughout a study and provide efficient, statistically powerful analyses that can readily relate...
dives deep into the fascinating world of geometry in biology, exploring how mathematical principles underpin life itself. We'll examine various examples, discuss the underlying reasons for these patterns, and explore the implications for biological research and beyond.
1 gru 2007 · Because the geometric mean is G ≈μ−σ 2 / (2 μ), where μ is the (arithmetic) mean and σ 2 is the variance in absolute fitness, the allele favored by natural selection is the one that best boosts μ while reducing σ 2.
