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 …
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 …

The crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plant Kalanchoë daigremontiana Hamet et Perrier de la Bâthie shows an endogenous circadian rhythm of net CO2 exchange (J CO2 ) under constant conditions in continuous light. Previous studies have shown, however, …
