Global Stability and Hopf Bifurcation for Gause-Type Predator-Prey System by Shuang Guo, Weihua Jiang

“…The delay can lead to periodic solutions, which is consistent with the law of growth for birds and some mammals. Further, an explicit formula is given which determines the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions theoretically and the existence of periodic solutions is displayed by numerical simulations.…”

Gopher Apple, Geobalanus oblongifolius Synonym: Licania michauxii by Debbie Miller, Mack Thetford, Chris Verlinde, Gabriel Campbell, Ashlynn Smith

“…Gopher apple gets its name because gopher tortoises, along with other small mammals, eat their fruit. Gopher apple is an ideal groundcover for a coastal landscape with well-draining soil and a low pH (Gilman 2014). https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg169 Note: This fact sheet is also available as a chapter in a comprehensive manual titled Dune Restoration and Enhancement for the Florida Panhandle,  Please see the manual for more information about other useful and attractive native plants for dunes and for further information about restoration and preservation techniques …”

Role of the Endocannabinoid System in the Central Regulation of Nonmammalian Vertebrate Reproduction by Erika Cottone, Valentina Pomatto, Patrizia Bovolin

“…Since studies performed in animal models other than mammals might provide further insight into the biology of these signalling molecules, in the present paper we review the comparative data pointing toward the endocannabinoid involvement in the reproductive control of non-mammalian vertebrates, focussing in particular on the central regulation of teleost and amphibian reproduction. …”

First evidence of transovarial transmission of Kyasanur Forest disease virus in Haemaphysalis and Rhipicephalus ticks in the wild by Sarah J. Burthe, Bhimanagoud Kumbar, Stefanie M. Schäfer, Bethan V. Purse, Abi T. Vanak, Natrajan Balakrishnan, Richard Hassall, Subhash L. Hoti, Darshan Narayanaswamy, Santoshkumar Potadar, Mujeeb Rahman, Mohammed Mudassar Chanda

“…Conclusions Our empirical confirmation of transovarial transmission has important implications for understanding and predicting KFD dynamics, suggesting that ticks may act as a reservoir for KFDV. Moreover, small mammals and cattle may play crucial roles in transmission if small mammals are the main hosts for larvae infected via transovarial transmission, and cattle support large numbers of infected female adult ticks. …”

Modeling evolution and persistence of neurological viral diseases in wild populations by Dobromir T. Dimitrov, Aaron A. King

“…Viral infections are one of the leading source of mortality worldwide.The great majority of them circulate and persist in wild reservoirs and periodically spill over into humans or domestic animals.In the wild reservoirs, the progression of disease is frequently quite different from that in spillover hosts.We propose a mathematical treatment of the dynamics of viral infections in wild mammals using models with alternative outcomes.We develop and analyze compartmental epizootic models assuming permanent or temporary immunity of the individuals surviving infections and apply them to rabies in bats.We identify parameter relations that support the existing patterns in the viral ecology and estimate those parameters that are unattainable through direct measurement.We also investigate how the duration of the acquired immunity affects the disease and population dynamics.…”

THE MAMMALIAN CIRCADIAN CLOCK: GENE REGULATORY NETWORK AND THEIR COMPUTER ANALYSIS by O. A. Podkolodnaya, N. N. Podkolodnaya, N. L. Podkolodnyy

“…This paper presents the results of the reconstruction and analysis of gene regulatory network of the circadian clock in mammals. Application of graph theory methods makes it possible to analyze the structure of the gene network and identify the central component of circadian clock regulation, which includes the basic regulatory circuits passing through the key element of the circadian clock, the Clock/Bmal1 protein. …”
