✦ Synopsis

Most previous models of populations mixed for reproductive mode have omitted important local interactions between sexual and asexual individuals. We propose a cellular automaton model where local rules focus on fertilization and colonization. This model produces rich sets of data which are then studied by means of spatial statistics. Results point to the fixation of one of the two reproductive modes in the landscape. However, some examples of coexistence of sexual and asexual conspecifics over long periods of time are also found. This model is an example of a CA that diverges from its mean field approximation. The formation of sexual and asexual clusters reduces effective colonization rate in the CA and may account for this behaviour.

At carrying capacity, small advantages in competitive ability can compensate a sexual population for its two-fold disadvantage in growth capacity when facing invasion by asexual mutants. In this paper, we develop a generic analytical model to consider the ecology of a sexual population comprising eq

## Abstract Metabolic flux analysis (MFA) is widely used to quantify metabolic pathway activity. Typical applications involve isotopically labeled substrates, which require both metabolic and isotopic steady states for simplified data analysis. For bacterial systems, these steady states are readily

A hybrid cellular automaton model is described and used to simulate early tumor growth and examine the roles of host tissue vascular density and tumor metabolism in the ability of a small number of monoclonal transformed cells to develop into an invasive tumor. The model incorporates normal cells, t
