We develop a general theoretical framework for exploring the host plant selection behaviour of herbivorous insects. This model can be used to address a number of questions, including the evolution of specialists, generalists, preference hierarchies, and learning. We use our model to: (i) demonstrate
In this paper we describe a numerical solution of the consumer's life-cycle problem based on value function iteration. The advantage of our approach is that it retains the versatility of the value function iteration approach and achieves a high degree of accuracy without resorting to the very comput
It was recently shown that the theories of generic algebraic curves converge to a limit theory as their degrees go to inΓΏnity. In this paper we give quantitative versions of this result and other similar results. In particular, we show that generic curves of degree higher than 2 2r cannot be disting
