We derive a system of nonlinear partial differential equations describing the phenomenon of mountain pine beetles attacking lodgepole pine en masse. A methodology for projecting the behavior of these partial differential equations onto purely local ordinary differential equations is discussed and im
The dynamic interaction between mountain pine beetles (MPB) and hosts (generally lodgepole pine) is reviewed briefly. In particular, successful "switching" from initial foci of attack to nearby hosts which may be higher-quality resources is a potentially critical element initiating the transition fr
