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
It is well known that a simple "rst-order di!erence equation can exhibit complex population dynamics, such as sustained oscillations and chaos. An interesting problem is whether such oscillatory dynamics are expected to occur in real populations. This paper assumes that the resident system is compos
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
