Climate is a major extrinsic factor affecting the population dynamics of many organisms. The
Broad‐Scale Climate Hypothesis (BSCH) was proposed by Elton to explain the large‐scale …

Population cycles are one of nature's great mysteries. For almost a hundred years,
innumerable studies have probed the causes of cyclic dynamics in snowshoe hares, voles …

The virulence–transmission trade-off hypothesis proposed more than 30 years ago is the
cornerstone in the study of host–parasite co-evolution. This hypothesis rests on the premise …

The use of predator–prey models in theoretical ecology has a long history, and the model
equations have largely evolved since the original Lotka–Volterra system towards more …

Small rodent population cycles characterise northern ecosystems, and the cause of these
cycles has been a long‐lasting central topic in ecology, with trophic interactions currently …

The article aims to define the management mechanism of complex, open dynamic systems
with human participation. The following parts of the system life-cycle were identified and …

Abstract Theory suggests that increasingly long, negative feedback loops of many
interacting species may destabilize food webs as complexity increases. Less attention has …

Rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) and willow ptarmigan (L. lagopus) are Arctic birds with a
circumpolar distribution but there is limited knowledge about their status and trends across …

The idea that abnormal human activities follow multi-day rhythms is found in ancient beliefs
on the moon to modern clinical observations in epilepsy and mood disorders. To explore …

We develop three discrete-time predator-prey models from the Nicholson–Bailey host-
parasitoid framework, assuming a type II functional response and logistic prey growth in form …
