Spatially explicit individual-based models are widely used in ecology but they are often difficult to treat analytically. Despite their intractability they often exhibit clear temporal and spatial patterning. We demonstrate how a spatially explicit individual-based model of scramble competition with local dispersal can be approximated by a stochastic coupled map lattice. The approximation disen...

Conservation planning for birds is increasingly focused on landscapes. However, little spatially explicit information is available to guide landscape-level conservation planning for many species of birds. We used georeferenced 1995 Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data in conjunction with land-cover information to develop a spatially explicit habitat model predicting the occurrence of Northern Harrie...

Energetic resources in ecological and social-ecological systems are distributed through complex networks, which co-evolve with the system consumers to move from points of origin those end use. Past research has focussed on effects spatiotemporal resource heterogeneity ecosystems society, or socioeconomic drivers inequality, less attention interactions between network structure population-level ...
