Translocations are an increasing feature of threatened species conservation plans, but the impact of removal of individuals on the source population is seldom studied. Using computational Population Dynamics P System models and the Pyrenean Bearded Vulture population as a case study we looked at: the effect on the source population of alternative strategies for removal of individual birds for use...
As obligate scavengers, vultures are entirely dependent on carrion resources. In this study, we model the carrion ecology of an ecosystem in Swaziland which is home to the densest breeding population of the African white‐backed vulture Gyps africanus. We collected data on life‐history parameters of the avian scavenging guild of the area as well as the potential food available from the ungulate fauna...
In recent years, the increasing importance of the computational systems biology is leading to an impressive growth of the knowledge of several real-life phenomena. In this framework, membrane computing is an emergent branch within natural computing that has been successfully used to model biological phenomena. The study of these phenomena usually requires the execution of virtual experiments using...
P systems provide a high level computational modelling framework that combines the structural and dynamical aspects of ecosystems in a compressive and relevant way. The inherent randomness and uncertainty in biological systems is captured by using probabilistic strategies. The design of efficient simulation algorithms in order to reproduce the behavior of these computational models over conventional...
