Allee effects and population spread in patchy landscapes

GA Maciel, F Lutscher - Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
Invasion of alien species is one of the major threats for natural community structures,
potentially leading to high economic and environmental costs. In this work, we study through …

Movement behaviour determines competitive outcome and spread rates in strongly heterogeneous landscapes

GA Maciel, F Lutscher - Theoretical Ecology, 2018 - Springer
Classical models for biological invasions were single-species models in homogeneous
landscapes, but most invasions happen in the presence of interacting species and in …

Formulating spread of species with habitat dependent growth and dispersal in heterogeneous landscapes

A Ramanantoanina, C Hui - Mathematical biosciences, 2016 - Elsevier
Habitat heterogeneity can have profound effects on the spreading dynamics of invasive
species. Using integro-difference equations, we investigate the spreading dynamics in a one …

Patterns of patchy spread in deterministic and stochastic models of biological invasion and biological control

SV Petrovskii, H Malchow, FM Hilker, E Venturino - Biological Invasions, 2005 - Springer
A few spatiotemporal models of population dynamics are considered in relation to biological
invasion and biological control. The patterns of spread in one and two spatial dimensions …

Patterns of patchy spread in multi-species reaction–diffusion models

A Morozov, S Ruan, BL Li - ecological complexity, 2008 - Elsevier
Spread of populations in space often takes place via formation, interaction and propagation
of separated patches of high species density, without formation of continuous fronts. This …

Allee effect makes possible patchy invasion in a predator–prey system

SV Petrovskii, AY Morozov, E Venturino - Ecology Letters, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
The dynamics of interacting ecological populations results from the interplay between
various deterministic and stochastic factors and this is particularly the case for the …

Effect of environmental fluctuations on invasion fronts

V Méndez, I Llopis, D Campos… - Journal of theoretical …, 2011 - Elsevier
We determine the density profile and velocity of invasion fronts in one-dimensional infinite
habitats in the presence of environmental fluctuations. The population dynamics is …

Patterns of invasive species spread in a landscape with a complex geometry

W Alharbi, S Petrovskii - Ecological complexity, 2018 - Elsevier
Patterns and rates of invasive species spread have been a focus of attention for several
decades. Majority of studies focused on the species proliferation in a relatively uniform …

Effect of complex landscape geometry on the invasive species spread: Invasion with stepping stones

W Alharbi, S Petrovskii - Journal of theoretical biology, 2019 - Elsevier
Spatial proliferation of invasive species often causes serious damage to agriculture, ecology
and environment. Evaluation of the extent of the area potentially invadable by an alien …

Immigration events dispersed in space and time: factors affecting invasion success

KLS Drury, JM Drake, DM Lodge, G Dwyer - ecological modelling, 2007 - Elsevier
Classical models of biological invasions generally assume that introductions consist of
single releases of organisms, whereas in nature successful invasions are usually the result …
