Implications of spatial pattern and local density on community-level interactions
Article Abstract:
A experimentally testing of the effects of net population or community-level dynamics at nested spatial scales by planting different number of patches within a plot but holding plot-level seed density constant, by manipulating the number of occupied patches adjacent to a target patch. The presence of neighboring patches increased emergence within a plot, while increased seed density within patches increased emergence, but strongly increased survival and mean plant size.

Modelling the spatial dynamics and persistence of the leaf beetle Gonioctena olivacea in dynamic habitats
Article Abstract:
A simulation model analysed the persistence of the leaf beetle Gonioctena olivacea in a system of dynamic patches of its host plant Cytisus scoparius. The study revealed the importance of information on patch turnover.

Model-supervised kernel smoothing for the estimation of spatial usage
Article Abstract:
The application and performance of model-supervised kernel smoothing (MSKS) is examined. Model-supervised kernel smoothing (MSKS) incorporates auxiliary information in the estimation of usage.
