Cats protecting birds: modelling the mesopredator release effect

TL;DR: This work emphasizes that, although counter-intuitive, eradication of introduced superpredators, such as feral domestic cats, is not always the best solution to protect endemic prey when introduced mesopredators,such as rats, are also present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rabbits killing birds: modelling the hyperpredation process

TL;DR: The model shows that, although it can be induced by both types of adaptation together or alone, behavioural adaptations alone are more powerful in generating the hyperpredation process, than are life history traits adaptations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling hantavirus in fluctuating populations of bank voles: the role of indirect transmission on virus persistence

TL;DR: Investigation of pathogen dynamics and conditions of persistence in a mathematical model of the bank vole–Puumala hantavirus system showed that indirect transmission significantly increased the probability for the virus to persist during the low-density period of the host population.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Allee effect and infectious diseases: extinction, multistability, and the (dis-)appearance of oscillations.

TL;DR: It is shown that a strong Allee effect can lead to complex dynamics in simple epidemic models and the overall complexity suggests that the system is very sensitive to perturbations and control methods, even in parameter regions with a basic reproductive ratio far beyond.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of rabbits to protect island birds from cat predation

TL;DR: Through a mathematical model, it is shown that control of introduced prey facilitates the control of the introduced predator population and predator control may fail to protect the indigenous prey if control of both introduced prey is not undertaken simultaneously.
