On the track of tiny larvae, a new model elucidates connections in marine ecology

...ers combines ocean current simulations and genetic forecasting to help scientists predict animal dispersion patterns and details of the ecology of coral reefs across the Caribbean Sea.

Math model predicts cancer behavior

... done. The new approach is not so different from forecasting the weather. "Today we can know pretty well that for the next few days we're going to expect good weather or that there's a storm on the way," Quaranta said. "That's the kind of predictive power we want to generate with our model for cancer invasio...

Improved predictions of warming-induced extinctions sought

...ernational team of 19 researchers calls for better forecasting of the effects of global warming on extinction rates. The researchers, led by Daniel B. Botkin, note that although current mathematical models indicate that many species could be at risk from global warming, surprisingly few species became extinct du...
