Temporal variability in host availability alters the outcome of competition between two parasitoid species by Wang, H, Liu, T, Sun, S, Lewis, OT, Xi, X

“…</li> <li>To investigate this, we allowed two parasitoid species,&nbsp;<em>Trichopria drosophilae</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Pachycrepoideus vindemiae</em>, to exploit&nbsp;<em>Drosophila</em>&nbsp;host pupae under different temporal variability treatments, either on their own or simultaneously.</li> <li>When tested individually (in the absence of interspecific competition), both parasitoid species had lower fitness when hosts were exposed for a short duration at high density than when exposed for a long duration at low density. …”

Balancing fairness and efficiency in traffic routing via interpolated traffic assignment by Jalota, Devansh, Solovey, Kiril, Tsao, Matthew, Zoepf, Stephen, Pavone, Marco

“…We further leverage the structure of I-TAP to develop two pricing mechanisms to collectively enforce the I-TAP solution in the presence of selfish homogeneous and heterogeneous users, respectively, that independently choose routes to minimize their own travel costs. We mention that this is the first study of pricing in the context of fair routing for general road networks (as opposed to, e.g., parallel road networks).…”
