A phenomenological model for species spreading which incorporates the Allee effect, a species’ maximum attainable growth rate, collective dispersal rate and dispersal adaptability is presented. This builds on a well-established reaction-diffusion model for spatial spreading of invading organisms. The model is phrased in terms of the “hostility” (which quantifies the Allee threshold in relation ...

Daily hostile mood and social interactions may precipitate stress-related CV responses in hostile individuals. PURPOSE Determine whether trait cognitive hostility best predicts daily hostile mood and social interactions relative to other trait hostility factors and explore the temporal links betw...
