Journal ArticleDOI
Models of infectious diseases in spatially heterogeneous environments.
TL;DR: The results indicate the importance of knowing the spatial distribution and mobility patterns to understand the dynamics of infectious diseases and the consequences for the design of public health policies are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction networks, ecological stability, and collective antibiotic tolerance in polymicrobial infections.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ecological interactions are crucial for the growth and survival of bacteria in polymicrobial infection communities and affect their assembly and resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI
A gradient from stable to cyclic populations of Clethrionomys rufocanus in Hokkaido, Japan.
TL;DR: The dynamics of the Hokkaidian vole populations are found to vary clinally from the western coast eastwards and towards the interior of the study area, and this gradient corresponds superficially to the latitudinal gradient seen in microtine populations in Fennoscandia, however, under close scrutiny, these gradients differ greatly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology of Arctic Populations of Lake Trout, Salvelinus namaycush, Lake Whitefish, Coregonus clupeaformis, Arctic Char, S. alpinus, and Associated Species in Unexploited Lakes of the Canadian Northwest Territories
TL;DR: In this paper, the available data on the fish populations of 35 lakes in the Northwest Territories are examined, and they show a uni, bi-, or trimodal length distribution; age distributions are unimodal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Industrial Ecosystems as Food Webs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied food-web theory to a set of 19 actual and hypothetical eco-industrial parks and integrated biosys-tems and found a linear relationship between number of industrial tenants and number of linkages among them.
