The existence of invasion wave solution is investigated by applying upper lower solutions method and Schauder's fixed point theorem. Further, with the help of Ikeharas' theorem, we establish the exponential decay asymptotic behavior of traveling wave solutions at the minus/plus infinity.展开更多

In this study, we examined the distribution of the Sardinian warbler Sylvia melanocephala along two grassland-to-forest gradients, one in a high-diversity area (Albera-Aspres chain in Catalonia: eight Sylvia warbler species) and one in a low-diversity area (Mount Hymittos in Greece: four species). In Catalonia, distribution models suggested that the apparent exclusion of S. melanocephala from the open and forest ends of the gradient may be explained entirely by the preference of S. melanocephala for mid-successional shrublands. However, a joint analysis of both data sets revealed that: 1) S. melanocephala was more evenly dis- tributed along the vegetation gradient in Greece, suggesting ecological release in the low-diversity area; and 2) a distribution model assuming interspecific competition (based on the distribution of Sylvia species showing a negative co-occurrence pattern with S. melanocephala) had a significantly higher predictive ability than a distribution model based on habitat variables alone. Our study supports the view that species turnover along ecological gradients generally results from a combination of intrinsic preferences and interspecific competition [Current Zoology 57 (3): 307-317, 2011].展开更多

文摘During heteroepitaxial overlayer growth multiple crystal domains nucleated on a substrate surface compete with each other in such a manner that a domain covered by neighboring ones stops growing.The number density of active domains ρ decreases as the height h increases.A simple scaling argument leads to a scaling law of ρ~ h^(-γ) with a coarsening exponent γ=d/z,where d is the dimension of the substrate surface and z the dynamic exponent of a growth front.This scaling relation is confirmed by performing kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of the ballistic deposition model on a two-dimensional(d=2) surface,even when an isolated deposited particle diffuses on a crystal surface.
