Biodiversity is organised into complex ecological networks of interacting species in local
ecosystems, but our knowledge about the effects of habitat fragmentation on such systems …

Insect pests represent a serious problem for the agriculture. The most popular control
technic is the application of insecticide. This method, however, presents serious risks to the …

The term model has a variety of context-dependent meanings. A common meaning of model
is to represent a physical system. Examples of representational models include …

In this paper, we develop a three-species intraguild predation model which incorporates
refuges used by the resource and the intraguild prey, and focus on the effects of refuges on …

A spatially implicit consumer–resource model, having the form of the Rosenzweig–
MacArthur equations except for density-dependent loss on the consumer, is analyzed. Both …

The amber-marked birch leafminer (Profenusa thomsoni [Konow])(Hymenoptera:
Tenthredinidae) has caused severe infestations of birch species in Anchorage, AK, since …

Understanding the spreading dynamics of insects and particles naturally or artificially
associated with them, such as seeds, pollen, repellents or insecticides, is of paramount …

Spatial heterogeneity greatly affects the population spread. Although the theory for
biological invasion in heterogeneous spatially continuous habitats have received …

Since 1998, the invasive insect amber-marked birch leaf miner (Profenusa thomsoni
Konow.) has been an issue for the birch trees in Alaska's Anchorage Bowl. P. thomsoni is …

An improved 2–D coupled map lattice model based on radial basis function is proposed fit
the evolution of an actual spatio-temporal system. A real signal was adopted and by using …
