Pest insects pose a significant threat to food production worldwide resulting in annual losses
worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Pest control attempts to prevent pest outbreaks that …

In this paper, we investigate the spatial pattern formation of a predator–prey system with
prey-dependent functional response Ivlev-type and reaction-diffusion. The Hopf bifurcation …

Can physics be an appropriate framework for the understanding of ecological science? Most
ecologists would probably agree that there is little relation between the complexity of natural …

Although the spatial dimension of ecosystem dynamics is now widely recognized, the
specific mechanisms behind species patterning in space are still poorly understood and the …

Many traditional farmers and environmentalists subscribe to the popular idea that the natural
world offers ecosystem services that contribute to the stability, productivity, and sustainability …

We investigate the emergence of spatio-temporal patterns in ecological systems. In
particular, we study a generalized predator–prey system on a spatial domain. On this …

We present two finite-difference algorithms for studying the dynamics of spatially extended
predator–prey interactions with the Holling type II functional response and logistic growth of …

Synapse coupling can benefit signal exchange between neurons and information encoding
for neurons, and the collective behaviors such as synchronization and pattern selection in …

Based on principles of the conservation and optimization of biodiversity and of equity and
sustainability, this book focuses on the ecology of the coffee agroecosystem as a model for a …

This is the first book to focus on agroecology as a transdisciplinary, participatory, and action-
oriented process. Using a combined theoretical and practical approach, this collection of …
