Integrating pollinators’ movements into pollination models by Juliane Mailly, Louise Riotte-Lambert, Mathieu Lihoreau

“…For many plants, pollen dispersal is mediated by the foraging movements of nectarivore animals. While most current models of pollination ecology assume random pollen movements, studies in animal behaviour show how pollinating insects, birds and bats rely on sensory cues, learning and memory to visit flowers, thereby producing complex movement patterns. …”

The full radiostereometric analysis migration pattern of tibial components is associated with aseptic loosening: introducing MTPMemax (MTPM estimated maximum) by Bart G. Pijls, Elise K. Laende

“…Aims: Thresholds for acceptable amounts of migration tibial components measured with radiostereometric analysis (RSA) are limited to specific follow-up moments and do not use the full migration pattern. The Michaelis-Menten (MM) model, a non-linear model from biochemistry, could potentially be used to model the entire migration pattern. …”
