Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background Dengue is a disease that has undergone significant expansion over the past hundred years. Understanding what factors limit the distribution of transmission can be used to predict current and future limits to further dengue expansion. While not

Selected topics on reaction-diffusion-advection models from spatial ecology
, 2020 We discuss the effects of movement and spatial heterogeneity on population dynamics via reaction-diffusion-advection models, focusing on the persistence, competition, and evolution of organisms in spatially heterogeneous environments.

Behavioural ecology at the spatial-social interface
Biological Reviews, 2022 ABSTRACTSpatial and social behaviour are fundamental aspects of an animal's biology, and their social and spatial environments are indelibly linked through mutual causes and shared consequences. We define the ‘spatial–social interface’ as intersection of social and spatial aspects of individuals' phenotypes and environments.

Factors influencing scavenger guilds and scavenging efficiency in Southwestern Montana
Scientific Reports, 2021 Scavenging of carrion shapes ecological landscapes by influencing scavenger population demography, increasing inter- and intra-specific interactions, and generating ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling and disease moderation.

Energy Landscapes and the Landscape of Fear [PDF]
, 2016 Animals are not distributed randomly in space and time because their movement ecology is influenced by a variety of factors. Energy landscapes and the landscape of fear have recently emerged as largely independent paradigms, both reshaping our ...

Spatial Polarization of the Ecological Footprint Distribution [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014 The international allocation of natural resources is determined, not by any ethical or ecological criteria, but by the dominance of market mechanisms. From a core-periphery perspective, this allocation may even be driven by historically determined structural patterns, with a core group of countries whose consumption appropriates most available natural ...

Metabolic flexibility as a major predictor of spatial distribution in microbial communities [PDF]
, 2014 A better understand the ecology of microbes and their role in the global ecosystem could be achieved if traditional ecological theories can be applied to microbes. In ecology organisms are defined as specialists or generalists according to the breadth of
