Basins of attraction of nonlinear systems can be "riddled"; arbitrarily close to any point in a riddled basin are neighboring points which go to a different attractor. I present two chaotically forced single-species population models with riddled basins of attraction. As a result of this complex bas

The evolutionary biology of host-parasite relationships are considered here using a simple game-theory model in which hosts play against parasite and vice versa. In this model, the players can choose between two strategies (aggressive or not aggressive) and the utility of the game is envisaged in te
A BASIC computer simulation model was constructed to mimic the dynamic behavior of an assemblage of parasite species over a range of abiotic conditions. Computer hosts sampled a parasite supra-assemblage consisting of seven parasite types which differed in their relative probabilities of infection.
