Modeling bumble bee population dynamics with delay differential equations

ECOLOGICAL MODELLING, 351, 14–23.

By: H. Banks n, J. Banks*, R. Bommarco*, A. Laubmeier n, N. Myers n, M. Rundlof*, K. Tillman n

author keywords: Population models; Delay differential equations; Non-linear; Non-autonomous; Spline approximations; Bombus terrestris; Reproduction
TL;DR: A delay differential equation model is proposed that describes multi-colony bumble bee population dynamics and ways in which resource limitation, pesticide exposure and other pressures can be reflected in the model are described. (via Semantic Scholar)

Modelling populations of Lygus hesperus on cotton fields in the San Joaquin Valley of California: the importance of statistical and mathematical model choice

JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL DYNAMICS, 11(1), 25–39.

By: H. Banks n, J. Banks*, J. Rosenheim* & K. Tillman n

author keywords: Inverse problem; ordinary least squares; generalized least squares; model selection; information content; bootstrapping; residual plots; linear splines; hemiptera; herbivory; pest suppression; pesticide
MeSH headings : Animals; California; Heteroptera / physiology; Models, Biological; Pesticides; Population Dynamics
TL;DR: The dynamic effects of pesticide treatments on Lygus hesperus, a common pest of cotton in the western United States, are explored and the statistical assumptions often haphazardly made in the process of parameter estimation are investigated. (via Semantic Scholar)

Model comparison tests to determine data information content

APPLIED MATHEMATICS LETTERS, 43, 10–18.

By: H. Banks n, J. Banks*, K. Link n, J. Rosenheim*, C. Ross n & K. Tillman n

author keywords: Ordinary least squares; Model comparison in inverse problems; Information content
TL;DR: In the context of inverse or parameter estimation problems, the use of statistically based model comparison tests is demonstrated in several examples of practical interest interested in questions related to information content of a particular given data set and whether the data will support a more complicated model to describe it.

2015 journal article

Optimal sampling frequency and timing of threatened tropical bird populations: A modeling approach

ECOLOGICAL MODELLING, 303, 70–77.

By: J. Banks*, H. Banks n, K. Rinnovatore n & C. Jackson*

author keywords: Arabuko-Sokoke Forest; Inverse problem; Kenya; Least squares optimization; Leslie matrix; Sheppardia gunningi
TL;DR: It is illustrated how resource managers might take a strategic approach, using simple quantitative models, to develop an optimal sampling scheme that considers important species traits, such as breeding season, and balances the tradeoff between resources and accuracy. (via Semantic Scholar)
