Classical models for biological invasions were single-species models in homogeneous landscapes, but most invasions happen in the presence of interacting species and in heterogeneous environments. The combination of spatial ...

We consider a generic interaction-redistribution model of vegetation dynamics to investigate the formation of patchy vegetation in semi-arid and arid landscapes. First, we perform a weakly nonlinear analysis in the ...

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 a reaction-diffusion model the dynamics ...

We developed metrics at a landscape scale to evaluate the costs and rewards experienced by large herbivores while foraging in natural vegetation with patchy anti-herbivore plant structures. We show an application of these ...

The pattern of seed rain across a landscape can determine the distribution of potential recruitment rates, influencing the spatial processes of colonization, range expansion and gene flow. Likewise, the quantification of ...

Forest bird species exhibit noticeable seasonal behavioral changes that might lead to contrasting effects of landscape pattern upon species abundance and performance. We assessed if the effect of patch and habitat attributes ...
