We investigate the transition to synchronization in ensembles of coupled oscillators with quenched disorder. We find that small coupling is able to increase the frequency disorder and to induce a spread of oscillator frequencies. This new effect of …
We study the synchronization of two nonidentical oscillators with nonvanishing nonisochronicity under the presence of uncorrelated Gaussian noise. To measure the amount of synchronization we calculate the evolution of the phase difference. Without …
Biological communities are affected by perturbations that frequently occur in a more-or-less periodic fashion. In this communication we use the circle map to summarize the dynamics of one such community – the periodically forced Lotka–Volterra …
The study of synchronization phenomena in ecology is important because it helps to explain interactions between population dynamics and extrinsic environmental variation. Grenfell et al. have examined synchronized fluctuations in the sizes of two …
An ecological population model is presented for the purposes of exploring complex synchronization phenomena in biological systems. The model describes a three level predator–prey–resource system which oscillates with Uniform Phase evolution, yet has …
