A population model for the tick Ixodes ricinus, the most significant vector of pathogens in Europe, is used to explore the relative impact of changes ...

The invasive thistle Carduus nutans causes major economic losses in the Americas, Australia and New Zealand. For the first time, we have modelled its ...

Chemical effects on organisms are typically assessed using individual-level endpoints or sometimes population growth rate (PGR), but such measurements...

The genetic structure of agricultural plant populations has long been recognized as an important factor in their vulnerability or resistance to diseas...

Biological pest control is gaining greater acceptance as an important part of integrated pest management for sustainable agriculture. However, knowled...

Resource availability and natural enemies are among the most commonly cited mechanisms affecting competitive ability of invasive plants, but their sim...

A simulation model of the dynamics of populations of Lucilia sericata was developed, based on a detailed knowledge of the effects of temperature on th...

To be successful, integrated weed management (IWM) requires sufficient knowledge of the ecology of the weed and the invaded system to allow prediction...

Designing practical rules for controlling invasive species is a challenging task for managers, particularly when species are long-lived, have complex ...

An individual-based stochastic simulation model was used to investigate the control of bovine tuberculosis (TB) in the European badger Meles meles. Ne...
