▪ Abstract Spatial synchrony refers to coincident changes in the abundance or other time-
varying characteristics of geographically disjunct populations. This phenomenon has been …

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 …
