A model for the spatial dynamics of linyphiid spiders in farmland.

Published online: 25 Sep 1996

Authors: Halley, J. M. & Thomas, C. F. G. & Jepson, P. C.

Content type: Journal article

Journal title: Journal of Applied Ecology

Linyphiid spiders are important predators of pests in agricultural ecosystems. Their ability to disperse aeronautically is a pre-adaptation to ephemer...

Authors: Pakeman, R. J. & Marrs, R. H. & Jacob, P. J.

Content type: Journal article

Journal title: Journal of Applied Ecology

A mechanistic physiological model for the growth of bracken has been developed which describes its yearly cycle in terms of three compartments: frond ...

Authors: Trewhella, W. J. & Harris, S.

Content type: Journal article

Journal title: Journal of Applied Ecology

The reasons for choosing a stochastic spatial simulation model of urban fox dispersal are described, and the biological assumptions behind the constru...

A cyclical feeding model for pathogen transmission and its application to determine vectorial capacity from vector infection rates.

Published online: 13 Jul 1991

Authors: Saul, A. J. & Graves, P. M. & Kay, B. H.

Content type: Journal article

Journal title: Journal of Applied Ecology

A model of disease transmission was formulated which assumed that vector feeding behaviour is cyclical rather than continuous. This model led to equat...
