Re–evaluating the omnivory–stability relationship in food webs

K McCann, A Hastings - … of the Royal Society of London …, 1997 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Under equilibrium conditions, previous theory has shown that the presence of omnivory
destabilizes food webs. Correspondingly, omnivory ought to be rare in real food webs …

Coherence and conservation

A principal aim of current conservation policy is to reduce the impact of habitat
fragmentation. Conservation corridors may achieve this goal by facilitating movement …

Allee effects, extinctions, and chaotic transients in simple population models

SJ Schreiber - Theoretical population biology, 2003 - Elsevier
Discrete time single species models with overcompensating density dependence and an
Allee effect due to predator satiation and mating limitation are investigated. The models …

Food webs in space: on the interplay of dynamic instability and spatial processes

RD Holt - Ecological Research, 2002 - Springer
Ecologists increasingly recognize that a consideration of spatial dynamics is essential for
resolving many classical problems in community ecology. In the present paper, I argue that …
