By using this model, the nonlinear dynamics of the TCPW/RED network are analyzed and its parameter sensitivities are studied. It is shown that periodic doubling bifurcation occurs when the RED control parameters or other parameters are varied. By theoretical analysis, the fixed point, the critical value of parameters and the nature of the bifurcation are determined. Moreover, by using bifurcation diagrams and Lyapunov exponent, the result of theoretical analysis is validated and the bifurcation and chaotic phenomena are numerically studied of the congestion control system with TCPW connections and RED gateway.展开更多

The interactions between multiple insect species resulting from invasive plants remain poorly understood despite their potential. We observed notorious invasive plants Eupatorium adenophorum Sprengel were competedly fed by Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Dorylus orientalis Westwood (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) beside the scientific research base of Kunming University. It was first observed that D. orientalis was eating the epidermis, cortex, phloem and other root and stem tissues of E. adenophorum in soil. Two months later, it was observed that S. invicta ate the epidermis, cortex, phloem and other aboveground stem tissues of E. adenophorum. S. invicta attacked D. orientalis and displaced their living space by causing the later dead, injured, or even disabled. This phenomenon suggested that local herbivorous insects have adapted to E. adenophorum well, which will intensify the naturalization process of E. adenophorum in local habitats. In a homogeneous garden planting experiment of E. adenophorum conducted at the experimental base of Kunming University, the biomass of the introduced (China) populations of E. adenophorum was lower than that of the native (Mexico) populations, although there was no statistically significant difference. These results indicate a possible positive correlation between the increase in natural enemy pressure and the decrease in fitness of E. adenophorum.展开更多
