Semi-discrete models are a particular class of hybrid dynamical systems that undergo
continuous dynamics most of the time but repeatedly experience discrete changes at some …

Discrete-time models are the traditional approach for capturing population dynamics of
insects living in the temperate regions of the world. We revisit classical discrete-time models …

How growth, mortality, and dispersal in a species affect the species' spread and persistence
constitutes a central problem in spatial ecology. We propose impulsive reaction–diffusion …

We developed a new type of generalized depletion model adapted to the rapid life cycle of
Octopus vulgaris and the data collection framework put in place in its co-managed small …

Parasitoid wasps are increasingly being used to control insect pest populations, where the
pest is the host species parasitized by the wasp. Here we use the discrete-time formalism of …

The timing of harvesting is a key instrument in managing and exploiting biological
populations and renewable resources. Yet, there is little theory on harvest timing, and even …

Population control in some form of harvesting might be expected to reduce population size,
but quite the opposite can happen due to the hydra effect. This phenomenon describes an …

The gamma-Ricker model is one of the more flexible and general discrete-time population
models. It is defined on the basis of the Ricker model, introducing an additional parameter …

Benthic polyps are important in jellyfish outbreaks, which seem to have become more
intense and are causing increasing problems for humans. We studied annual and seasonal …

Individual-based simulation has become an increasingly crucial tool for many fields of
population biology. However, implementing realistic and stable simulations in continuous …
