La fonte de la biodiversité dans les îles : modélisation de l’impact du réchauffement global sur la végétation orophile de Tahiti (Polynésie française) by Robin Pouteau, Jean-Yves Meyer, Ravahere Taputuarai, Benoît Stoll

“…Consequences on biodiversity will be : (i) the loss of a unique ecosystem in French Polynesia, the subalpine zone, and the extinction of, at least, six plant species restricted to this habitat and endemic to Tahiti ; (ii) the loss and fragmentation of the cloud forests, which will only be found on the highest summits, leading to an additional risk of extinction ; and (iii) the expansion of alien invasive species, having already an enormous ecological impact in Tahiti.…”

The Dynamics of a Tritrophic Leslie-Gower Food-Web System with the Effect of Fear by Firas Hussean Maghool, Raid Kamel Naji

“…The fear factor works as a stabilizing factor in the system up to a specific level; otherwise, it leads to the extinction of the predator. However, increasing the prey’s group defense leads to extinction in predator species.…”

Darwinian dynamics of a juvenile-adult model by J. M. Cushing, Simon Maccracken Stump

“…The bifurcation that occurs from the extinction equilibrium in a basicdiscrete time, nonlinear juvenile-adult model for semelparous populations,as the inherent net reproductive number $R_{0}$ increases through $1$,exhibits a dynamic dichotomy with two alternatives: an equilibrium withoverlapping generations and a synchronous 2-cycle with non-overlappinggenerations. …”
