Many ecosystems exhibit gapped, labyrinthine, striped or spotted patterns. Important
examples are vegetation patterns in drylands: these patterns are viewed as precursors of a …

When prey are scarce, planktivorous fish and other predators feeding on tiny prey should
forage within prey-rich patches to attain a net food intake above the ambient mean food …

Revealing mechanisms of efficient top-down control in eutrophic ecosystems remains a long
term challenge in theoretical ecology. In this paper, we revisit the role of environmental …

The recent expansion of human activities such as agriculture has continuously threatened to
block wildlife migration corridors that connect Amboseli National Park (Kenya) to …

Large predators exert control on lower trophic levels, often influencing long-term changes in
community structure. Many large predators are highly mobile and occur in habitats along a …

Understanding the impact of eutrophication on the dynamics of aquatic food webs, remains
a long-term challenge in ecology. Mathematical models generally predict the destabilisation …

There is a growing understanding that population models describing trophic interactions
should benefit from the increasing knowledge of the complex foraging behavior of …

A three-species population system under a facultative mutualistic relationship of one of the
species is studied. The considered interactions are as follows: facultative between the first …

Previous studies based on simple non-spatial model have suggested that autoparasitism, in
which females develop as primary endoparasitoids of hosts while males develop at the …

The main aim of mathematical ecology is to explore interactions among organisms and the
environment where they live, and predator-prey interaction is one of the major type of …
