Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT In bio‐social models, cooperative behavior has evolved as an adaptive strategy, playing multi‐functional roles. One of such roles in populations is to increase the success of the survival and reproduction of individuals and their families or social groups. Moreover, collective decision‐making in cooperative behavior is an aspect that is used to study the dynamic behavior of individuals within a social group. In this paper, we have focused on population dynamics by considering a predator–prey model as our main exemplification, where the generalist predator has adopted a cooperative hunting strategy while consuming their prey. In particular, we have analyzed the dynamic nature of the system when a nonlocal term is introduced in cooperation. First, the Turing instability condition has been studied for the local model around the coexisting steady‐state, followed by the Turing and non‐Turing patterns in the presence of the nonlocal interaction term. This work is also concerned with the existence of travelling wave solutions for predator–prey interaction with the nonlocal cooperative hunting strategy. Such solutions are reported for local as well as for nonlocal models. We have characterized the invading speed of the predator with the help of the minimal wave speed of travelling wave solutions connecting the predator‐free state to the co‐existence state. The travelling waves are found to be non‐monotonic in this system. The formation of wave trains has been demonstrated for an extended range of nonlocal interactions. Finally, the importance of psychological effects in shaping the dynamics of nonlocal collective behavior is demonstrated with several representative examples.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
