Body size is manifestly one of the most important attributes of an organism from an
ecological and evolutionary point of view. Size has a predominant influence on an animal's …

Publisher Summary This chapter illustrates the recent work on equations with state
dependent delays, with emphasis on particular models and on the emerging theory from the …

Up to now in our study of continuous population models we have been assuming that x (t),
the growth rate of population size at time t, depends only on x (t), the population size at the …

This book presents the recently introduced and already widely referred semi-discretization
method for the stability analysis of delayed dynamical systems. Delay differential equations …

The parasites that cause malaria depend on Anopheles mosquitoes for transmission;
because of this, mosquito population dynamics are a key determinant of malaria risk …

Interest in the dynamics of biological populations is quite old, its roots being traceable to the
dawn of civilization. Many illustrious names are associated with early mathematical theories …

Mosquito-borne diseases cause substantial mortality and morbidity worldwide. These
impacts are widely predicted to increase as temperatures warm and extreme precipitation …

Ecological Dynamics is unique in that it can serve both as an introductory text in numerous
ecology courses and as a resource for more advanced work. It provides a flexible …

Phenological shifts constitute one of the clearest manifestations of climate warming.
Advanced emergence is widely reported in high-latitude ectotherms, but a significant …

Over the past three decades there has been a dramatic increase in theoretical and practical
studies on insect natural enemies. The appeal of insect predators, and parasitoids in …
