This study illustrates the impact of advection speeds on the survival or demise of freshwater species in river ecosystems using numerical simulations. Species densities stabilize to steady states when advection is low, which is similar to situations when there is no directional flow. On the other hand, populations decrease toward extinction as advection rates rise, supporting the theoretical findings from stability and spectrum analysis.This study illustrates the impact of advection speeds on the survival or demise of freshwater species in river ecosystems using numerical simulations.

5 The limiting behaviors of solutions with respect to advection

\

\

\ It follows that uq(x) is equi-continuous in q ∈ [0, ρ].

\

\ According to [32], the above equation has a unique positive solution for all d > 0.

\

\

\

\

\ The proof is completed.

\ Remark 5.5. Note that γ(x) is the unique nontrivial stationary solution of (5.3).

\ Similarly, for (1.4), we have

6 Numerical simulations

\ Example 1. A numerical sample for case q = 0.5 is presented in Fig. 1. We observe that species u will ultimately survive and its species density reaches a steady state as time tends to infinite in domain Ω = (0, 5). And from Fig. 1, we find that the advection rate has an impact on the steady state of species density. A numerical sample for case q = 1 is shown in Fig. 2. It follows that species u will extinct in domain Ω = (0, 5), which implies that its species density will tend to 0 as time tends to infinite. Then Figs. 1 and 2 depict the temporal dynamics of species u for system (1.4).

\

\ Example 2. Choosing q = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, by Theorem 4.2, the species will survive and has a steady-state. Figs. 4 and 5 describe the profiles of u with different q at time t = 1, 4 and the profiles of u with different q at location x = 1, 4. We find that when the advection rate has a tendency to 0, the species density will close to the species density for q = 0. Meanwhile, Fig. 6 shows that the stationary solution will close to the stationary solution for q = 0 when the advection rate q tends to 0. These phenomena explain our results for Theorems 5.6 and 5.7 with q → 0 +.

\ Example 3. By choosing q = 2, 4, 6, 8, we get the profiles of u with different q at time t = 1, 1.2 and the profiles of u with different q at location x = 1, 4; see Figs. 7 and 8. We find that when the advection rate q becomes large, the species density will have a tendency to 0 for any time and location, which explain the result of Theorem 5.7 with q → ∞.

Grayscale debuts first Ethereum and Solana ETFs offering staking rewards

The post Grayscale debuts first Ethereum and Solana ETFs offering staking rewards appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Grayscale launched the first US-listed spot ETFs for Ethereum and Solana that offer staking rewards. Investors can earn staking rewards on ETH and SOL through Grayscale’s institutional custodians and validator partners. Grayscale Investments announced Monday that its Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHE) and Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ETH) have become the first US-listed spot crypto ETPs to enable staking. The firm simultaneously activated staking for its Solana Trust (GSOL), listed on OTCQX. The staking feature allows investors to gain exposure to the Ethereum and Solana networks while maintaining the funds’ primary objectives of providing spot crypto exposure. Grayscale will implement passive staking through institutional custodians and diverse validator providers to help secure the underlying protocols. Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg said the firm’s latest staking rollout for Ethereum and Solana funds shows its focus on staying ahead of the market. He added that Grayscale’s size and track record give it the tools to translate staking opportunities into long-term value for investors. Grayscale, which manages approximately $35 billion in assets, plans to expand staking to additional products while focusing on education and transparent reporting. The company recently published an educational report titled “Staking 101: Secure the Blockchain, Earn Rewards” to explain the mechanics and benefits of staking to investors. Launched as a spot crypto ETF last July, the ETHE fund had over 1 million ETH as of October 3. It ranks as the second-largest spot Ether ETF in the US behind BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust.
