When individuals migrate in a multi-patch environment, a considerable proportion of their lifetime might be spent in transit between patches. We investigate the effects such a pool of dispersers can have on local stability and dynamics for a variety of multi-patch host-parasitoid models. When an arb

The main objective of this work is to determine the conditions for coexistence and competitive exclusion in a discrete model for a community of three species: a stage-structured host and two competing parasitoids sharing the same host developmental stage. Coexistence of the community of the species
Diapause of part of a population during a breeding opportunity is widespread among insects. We explore the evolution of such diapause in a coupled host-parasitoid system, using a discrete-generation population dynamic model that incorporates diapause. We show that diapause in the host tends to be a
Recent theoretical studies have shown that dispersal between neighbouring local populations can promote the persistence of interacting metapopulations, even when the local dynamics are unstable and the environment is uniform. This persistence is associated with striking and self-organized spatial pa
