Multi-decadal stability of water ages and tracer transport in a temperate-humid river basin by Siyuan Wang, Markus Hrachowitz, Gerrit Schoups, Anna Störiko

“…Consequently, the results suggest that the physical transport dynamics in the Upper Neckar River basin, and potentially in comparable river basins with similar water age characteristics, can be considered near-stationary over multiple decades.…”

Nonlinear Dynamics and Multistability in a Cobweb Model by S. S. Askar

“…In the 2D model, where the memory factor is introduced, the equilibrium price is obtained, and it is shown that it can be destabilized through chaotic behaviors, which are formed due to period doubling and Neimark-Sacker bifurcation. Furthermore, we study the symmetric case when the producers update their prices based on the marginal profit in the past two time periods, and therefore, we investigate the influence of the speed of adjustment parameter on the stability of equilibrium price.…”

Qualitative Analysis of the Discretization of a Continuous Fractional Order Prey-Predator Model with the Effects of Harvesting and Immigration in the Population by Md. Jasim Uddin, Sarker Md. Sohel Rana

“…We show analytically that a fractional order prey-predator model supports both a Neimark–Sacker (NS) bifurcation and a period-doubling (PD) bifurcation under specific parametric circumstances. …”

Temporal Activity Patterns of the Spider Wasp Pepsis montezuma Smith (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) in a Disturbed Lower Montane Rainforest (Manizales, Colombia) by Carlos Restrepo-Giraldo, Juanita Rodriguez, James P. Pitts

“…Females of this species are diurnal with two peaks of activity: one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. During the morning, nectar foraging occurred at Baccharis latifolia. During the afternoon, females hunted for tarantulas of the genus Pamphobeteus (Araneae: Theraphosidae), which were dragged backwards to the nest by the wasp. …”

Bifurcation Analysis and Chaos Control in a Discrete-Time Predator-Prey System of Leslie Type with Simplified Holling Type IV Functional Response by S. M. Sohel Rana, Umme Kulsum

“…We algebraically show that the system undergoes a bifurcation (flip or Neimark-Sacker) in the interior of R+2. Numerical simulations are presented not only to validate analytical results but also to show chaotic behaviors which include bifurcations, phase portraits, period 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 20 orbits, invariant closed cycle, and attracting chaotic sets. …”
