Spatial simulation: A spatial perspective on individual-based ecology—a review

TL;DR: The methodological challenges facing further development and use of spatial ABM (SABM) are described and some potential solutions from multiple disciplines are suggested and how spatiality is a source of both advantages and challenges are explored.

TL;DR: A mathematical framework that automates the analysis of any model in a wide class, facilitating a deeper understanding of the scientific questions these models are used to address and will provide unprecedented insights into a hitherto intractable panoply of complex models across many scientific fields.

TL;DR: In this article, a spatially-explicit agent-based model combined information on the available infrastructures (roads, housing areas), the recreational potential of the landscape and rule-based movement strategies mimicking recreationists decision-making.

TL;DR: In this article, the current status of mathematical modeling and data on genetic heterogeneity and mutational stochasticity, time delays and population densities could be critical in the development of realistic phage therapy models in the future.
