Spatial heterogeneity in three species, plant–parasite–hyperparasite, systems
TL;DR: The criteria can be used to screen population interactions, to distinguish those that cannot cause patterning from those that may give rise to population–driven patterning, and establishes a basic dynamical ‘landscape’ against which other perturbations can be analysed and distinguished from population-driven patterns.
A Model for Wolf-Pack Territory Formation and Maintenance
TL;DR: In this article, a model is developed to investigate the formation and maintenance of wolf territories based on the spatial patterns observed in northeastern Minnesota, where the authors simplify the model to consider the movements of a single pack and show how interactions between adjacent packs determine the shape of the territory.

Spatial heterogeneity, social structure and disease dynamics of animal populations
Ivana Gudelj,Katrin White +1 more
TL;DR: Analyzing the impact of social groupings on the potential for an endemic disease to develop in a spatially explicit model system demonstrates that the explicit inclusion of space allows asymmetry between groups to arise when this was not possible in the equivalent spatially homogeneous system.

Effect of seasonal host reproduction on host-macroparasite dynamics
TL;DR: The classic Anderson and May model is modified so that parameters associated with host reproduction are periodic functions of time with a period corresponding to a year, indicating that if seasonal effects are ignored, regulation of the hosts by the parasite population is overestimated.

Modelling density-dependent resistance in insect-pathogen interactions
Katrin White,Kenneth Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that the inclusion of a resistant class can stabilise unstable host-pathogen interactions but there is greatest regulation when the fraction born resistant is density independent, and it is suggested that the propensity for density-dependent resistance be determined prior to such a biocontrol attempt in order to be sure that this will result in the prevention of pest outbreaks, rather than their facilitation.
