The search for mechanisms behind spatial population synchrony is currently a major issue in population ecology. Theoretical studies highlight how synchronizing mechanisms such as …
Nowadays, ecologists worldwide recognize the use of spatial analysis as essential. However, because of the fast-growing range of methods available, even an expert might …
Spatio-temporal travelling waves are striking manifestations of predator–prey and host– parasite dynamics. However, few systems are well enough documented both to detect …

Density‐dependent dispersal can be caused by various mechanisms, from competition inducing individuals to emigrate (positive density‐dependence) to social crowding effects …
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne virus that infects 50–100 million people each year. Of these infections, 200,000–500,000 occur as the severe, life-threatening form of the disease …
I review the regular multiannual population fluctuations in voles and lemmings of northern latitudes. Periodically fluctuating small rodent populations all exhibit a clear two-dimensional …

The synchronization of the dynamics of spatially subdivided populations is of both fundamental and applied interest in population biology. Based on theoretical studies …
Spatial synchrony, that is, correlated population fluctuation over wide geographical areas, has been detected in diverse taxa and over various geographical scales. The most …
Visual attention allows an observer to select certain visual information for specialized processing. Selection is readily apparent in 'tracking'tasks where even with the eyes fixed …
