This paper analyses the effect of migration frequency on the stability and persistence of a host-parasitoid system in a two-patch environment. The hosts and parasitoids are allowed to move from one patch to the other a certain number of times within a generation. When this number is low, i.e. when t

In this paper we develop a novel discrete, individual-based mathematical model to investigate the e!ect of parasitoid foraging strategies on the spatial and temporal dynamics of host}parasitoid systems. The model is used to compare namK ve or random search strategies with search strategies that depe
We model the behaviour of a solitary parasitoid that can either eat a host or lay an egg on it. When the parasitoid does not die as a result of starvation, it should always lay an egg on a host. We compute the parasitoid's lifetime reproductive success in this case, and illustrate the effects of the
