Critical Patch Sizes and Stability in Reaction-Diffusion Equations Norman Cao May 14, 2014
... An intuitive explanation for critical patch sizes is that Dirichlet and Robin boundary conditions introduce mortality or flux out of domain at the boundaries. As the patch size increases, the ratio between the boundary size and domain size decreases, so the boundary has less of an effect on the bulk ...

Are invasive plant species better competitors than native plant
... Invasive plants often appear to be more competitive than native species, but there have been few tests of this hypothesis. We reviewed published pair-wise experiments between invading and native plant species. Although the designs that have been used allow only limited inferences, the available data ...
