Article Synopsis
- Locusts are a major challenge in Africa, leading to significant crop and income losses despite control efforts.
- A mathematical model was developed to create risk maps for pest outbreaks, focusing on the desert locust and a natural enemy, the fungus Metarhizium acridum, to show how environmental factors affect pest control effectiveness.
- The study demonstrates that integrating this modeling with geographic data can enhance pest management strategies and optimize pesticide timing in affected regions.
Inspired by standard electrophysiological models of microtubules, a discrete nonlinear equation for ionic wave propagation that incorporates a negative nonlinear resistance is presented. The conditions for wave propagation in forbidden band gap are analyzed without and with dissipation. The nonlinear response manifold method is used to determine the supratransmission threshold of the case of study without dissipation.
