Read moreEcosystems are often complex adaptive systems with components that can exhibit non-linear dynamics. These nonlinearities can lead to alternative ecosystem
Read moreUnderstanding the mechanisms fostering the spread of organisms, particularly invasive species and disease agents, is a topic of major concern
Read moreSelf-organization has been hypothesized as one of the factors explaining the emergence of regular spatial patterns of organisms in landscapes.
Read moreNon-hierarchical competitive interactions between species (i.e. intransitive competitive networks) are a mechanism that is theorized to permit stable coexistence among
Read moreNetwork structure is being increasingly applied to the study of metapopulations, as a spatially explicit way to better characterize how
Read moreThe effects of dispersal have important implications for the dynamics of populations that are separated in space. Dispersal can lead
Read moreLevin’s model describes the change in the proportion of occupied patches within a metapopulation as a function of rate of
Read moreThe ecological interactions between species can influence host-pathogen dynamics. For example, shared pathogens can lead to indirect completion between species,
