We present the current state of the development of the SAPHIR project (a Systems Approach for PHysiological Integration of Renal, cardiac and respiratory function). The aim is to provide an open-source multi-resolution modelling environment that will permit, at a practical level, a plug-and-play construction of integrated systems models using lumped-parameter components at the organ/tissue level while also allowing focus on cellular- or molecular-level detailed sub-models embedded in the larger core model. Thus, an in silico exploration of gene-to-organ-to-organism scenarios will be possible, while keeping computation time manageable. As a first prototype implementation in this environment, we describe a core model of human physiology targeting the short- and long-term regulation of blood pressure, body fluids and homeostasis of the major solutes. In tandem with the development of the core models, the project involves database implementation and ontology development.

Optimality Models

Sexual and vegetative reproduction of salal (Gaultheriashallon Pursh) was measured under forest canopies of different closure. Sexual reproduction occurred only at ≤33% closure; vegetative reproduction occurred under sparse and dense closure. Crown closure influenced sexual reproduction primarily through interception of radiation and associated reductions in salal vigour. Irradiance had a greater influence on the mode of reproduction than did shoot density, and allocation of total reproductive effort (sexual plus vegetative) was contrary to optimality models, but consistent with resource limitation. No shoot <5 years old flowered; shared costs of flowering indicated physiological integration among salal shoots. Vegetative reproduction was negatively associated with age (r2 = 0.95), and 85% of the space occupied after 9 years of growth was occupied during the first 3 years. Under canopy the spatial pattern of salal shoots was better adapted to maintain plant persistence than to colonize new areas. Implications of salal's rates and modes of reproduction to forest and wildlife management are noted.
