A comparison of the dynamical impact of seasonal mechanisms in a herbivore–plant defence system
Theoretical Ecology - Tập 6 - Trang 225-239 - 2012
Plant defences can reduce herbivore fitness and may promote cycles in some herbivore populations. In this study, we model the interaction between plant defences and herbivores and include seasonal forcing, a ubiquitous environmental influence in natural systems. We compare the impacts of two different seasonal mechanisms on the dynamics of the herbivore–plant defence system. The first mechanism in......
Adaptive movement and food-chain dynamics: towards food-web theory without birth–death processes
Theoretical Ecology - Tập 9 - Trang 15-25 - 2015
Population density can be affected by its prey [resource] and predator [consumer] abundances through two different mechanisms: the alternation of birth [or somatic growth] or death rate and inter-habitat movement. While the food-web theory has traditionally been built on the former mechanism, the latter mechanism has formed the basis of a successful theory explaining the spatial distribution of or......

Higher order interactions and species coexistence
Theoretical Ecology - Tập 14 - Trang 71-83 - 2020
Higher order interactions (HOIs) have been suggested to stabilize diverse ecological communities. However, their role in maintaining species coexistence from the perspective of modern coexistence theory is not known. Here, using generalized Lotka-Volterra model, we derive a general rule for species coexistence modulated by HOIs. We show that where pairwise species interactions fail to promote spec......
Dispersal traits interact with dynamic connectivity to affect metapopulation growth and stability
Theoretical Ecology - Tập 12 - Trang 111-127 - 2018
Many marine benthic species undergo a pelagic larval stage during which larvae are transported by ocean currents over a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. Although metapopulation theory predicts how stochastic dispersal can alter the stability of metapopulations, little is known about how dispersal-related traits such as spawning time and larval duration interact with spatiotemporal conne......
Optimal resource allocation model for excessive flower production in a pollinating seed-predator mutualism
Theoretical Ecology - Tập 10 - Trang 105-115 - 2016
Many plants produce excessive flowers and several hypotheses have been proposed for adaptive significances of this behavior. Here, I develop a simple resource allocation model for plants in a mutualism with pollinating seed-predators to examine a novel hypothesis that excessive flower production can be favored to “dilute” seed predation by the pollinators. Pollinators visit flowers to deposit poll......
Coexistence patterns and diversity in a trait-based metacommunity on an environmental gradient
Theoretical Ecology - Tập 15 - Trang 51-63 - 2022
The dynamics of trait-based metacommunities have attracted much attention, but not much is known about how dispersal and spatial environmental variability mutually interact with each other to drive coexistence patterns and diversity. Here, we present a spatially explicit model of competition for two essential resources in a metacommunity on a one-dimensional environmental gradient. We find that bo......
