Optimal foraging by zooplankton within patches: the case of Daphnia.
The motions of many physical particles as well as living creatures are mediated by random influences or 'noise'. One might expect that over evolutionary time scales internal random processes found in living systems display characteristics that maximize fitness. Here we focus on animal random search strategies [G.M. Viswanathan, S.V. Buldyrev, S. Havlin, M.G.E. Da Luz, E.P. Raposo, H.E. Stanley,...
متن کاملMycorrhizal fungi and roots are complementary in foraging within nutrient patches.
The roots of the majority of tree species are associated with either arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) or ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi. The absorptive roots of tree species also vary widely in their diameter. The linkages between root thickness, mycorrhiza type and nutrient foraging are poorly understood. We conducted a large root ingrowth experiment in the field to investigate how absorptive roots of ...
متن کاملUpdate on Root Nutrient Foraging Root Nutrient Foraging
During a plant’s lifecycle, the availability of nutrients in the soil is mostly heterogeneous in space and time. Plants are able to adapt to nutrient shortage or localized nutrient availability by altering their root system architecture to efficiently explore soil zones containing the limited nutrient. It has been shown that the deficiency of different nutrients induces root architectural and m...
متن کاملOptimal rounding under integer constraints
Given N real numbers whose sum is an integer, we study the problem of finding N integers which match these real numbers as closely as possible, in the sense of Lp norm, while preserving the sum. We describe the structure of solutions for this integer optimization problem and propose an algorithm with complexity O(N logN) for solving it. In contrast to fractional rounding and randomized rounding...
متن کاملOptimal Market Dealing Under Constraints
We consider a market dealer acting as a liquidity provider by continuously setting bid and ask prices for an illiquid asset in a quote-driven market. The market dealer may benefit from the bid-ask spread but has the obligation to permanently quote both prices while satisfying some liquidity and inventory constraints. The objective is to maximize the expected utility from terminal liquidation va...
