The purpose of this article is to establish and analyse a baseline model for the apparent competition between many host strains attempting to avoid a uniform microparasitic population. The model is formulated and analysed using invasion criteria in the main text. The results are veri"ed by more form

A model has been investigated of the dynamics of the interaction between two hosts that are both attacked by a common pathogen with free-living infective stages, where the hosts are also subject to self-regulation. If either host interacted with the pathogen alone, two types of dynamics would be pos
We have constructed a model that predicts the evolution of CO2 on Mars from the end of the heavy bombardment period to the present. The model draws on published estimates of the main processes believed to affect the fate of CO2 during this period: chemical weathering, regolith uptake, polar cap form
