TLDR
In this paper, the authors present and relate four different frameworks in which spatially explicit individual-based models (IBMs) can be defined, which differ in the way space and time are modeled; each can be treated either discretely or continuously.

Rectangular and hexagonal grids used for observation, experiment and simulation in ecology

TL;DR: This work considers modelling and other applications, including the role of nearest neighbourhood in experimental design, the representation of connectivity in maps, and a new method for performing field surveys using hexagonal grids, which was demonstrated on montane heath vegetation.

Area–heterogeneity tradeoff and the diversity of ecological communities

TL;DR: An extensive database of breeding bird distribution in Catalonia is analyzed and it is shown that patterns of species richness, species abundance, and extinction rates are consistent with the predictions of the area–heterogeneity tradeoff and its proposed mechanisms.

Dispersal data and the spread of invading organisms.

TL;DR: A class of models, integrodifference equations, that directly incorporate detailed dispersal data as well as population growth dynamics are considered, finding that the speed of invasion of a spreading population is extremely sensitive to the precise shape of the redistribution kernel.
