Stability in Insect Host-Parasite Models

Journal of Animal Ecology · 1973 · Vol. 42(3) · pp. 693–693

Abstract

where NS represents the survivors after Pt parasites have searched for Nt hosts resulting in P+ 1 parasite progenyt. All assumptions about parasite searching behaviour are here contained in the functionf[Pt,Nt]. If we consider the simplest case where the parasite population is specific and synchronized temporally with its host population, we can write the following generalized model for a host-parasite interaction:
