Choosing category size in a stage projection matrix
(Springer-Verlag, 1978-01)
A basic problem associated with choosing category size in a stage projection matrix is described. “Errors of estimation” are large if the category size is chosen too small and “errors of distribution” are large if the ...
Comments on rarity and chaos, Thomas D. Rogers, math. biosci. 72:13-18 (1984)
(Elsevier, 1985-03)
Simple temporal models for ecological systems with complex spatial patterns
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2002-05)
Spatial patterns are ubiquitous in nature. Because these patterns modify the temporal dynamics and stability properties of population densities at a range of spatial scales, their effects must be incorporated in temporal ...
Stand Characteristics and Leaf Litter Composition of a Dry Forest Hectare in Santa Rosa National Park, Costa Rica
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1997-12)
One hectare of tropical dry forest in Guanacaste Conservation Area, Costa Rica was mapped and all trees larger than 10 cm diameter at breast height (DBH) identified. The same hectare was sampled for leaf litter and the two ...
An ecologically-based approach to the design of intercrop agroecosystems: An intercropping system of soybeans and tomatoes in Southern Michigan
(Elsevier, 1984-10)
A model is developed in which the elementary structure of plant competision is translated into the classical yield-density equation. Using the same reasoning, an interspecific form of the model is formulated to predict ...

Models of coupled population oscillators using 1-D maps
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1998-08)
Coupled population oscillators are investigated with the use of coupled logistic maps. Two forms of coupling are employed, reproductive and density. Three biologically distinct situations are investigated: populations ...
