Multiple attractors in host-parasitoid interactions: coexistence and extinction.
This paper considers the dynamics of a two-dimensional discrete-time model for host-parasitoid interactions, and shows that the model has two attractors: the fixed point where two species coexist and a boundary cycle where the parasitoid is absent. The analysis with the Liapunov exponent confirms that this kind of bistability is common in this model. The generality of this phenomenon in host-pa...
متن کاملWolbachia in two insect host-parasitoid communities.
Wolbachia form a group of intracellular bacteria that alter reproduction in their arthropod hosts. Two major phylogenetic subdivisions (A and B) of Wolbachia occur. Using a polymerase chain reaction assay we surveyed for the A and B group Wolbachia in 82 insect species from two temperate host-parasitoid communities (food webs) and a general collection of Lepidoptera caught at a light trap. One ...
متن کاملMultiple Equilibria in an Age-Structured Two-Sex Population Model
The complexity of age-structured two-sex population models has inhibited analysis of the uniqueness or stability of persistent distributions (i.e., equilibria in which the population grows exponentially with a fixed proportion in each age class). To offer some insight, this paper examines a special case in which couples dissolve only through the death of a spouse, and widows never remarry. Addi...
متن کاملThe prevalence of asymmetrical indirect effects in two-host-one-parasitoid systems.
Empirical studies of indirect effects mediated by shared enemies have been characterized by several puzzling features: (a) there exist far fewer documented cases than for interactions via shared resources; (b) the majority of empirical studies have measured indirect effects where one of the two reciprocal effects could not be distinguished from zero; (c) there is a lack of documented positive e...
متن کاملHost-parasitoid dynamics of a generalized Thompson model.
A discrete-time host-parasitoid model including host-density dependence and a generalized Thompson escape function is analyzed. This model assumes that parasitoids are egg-limited but not search-limited, and is proven to exhibit five types of dynamics: host failure in which the host goes extinct in the parasitoid's presence or absence, unconditional parasitoid failure in which the parasitoid al...
