Addresses the fundamental effects of space on the dynamics of individual species and on the structure, dynamics, diversity, and stability of multispecies communities. This book highlights the importance of space to five topical areas: stability, patterns of diversity, invasions, coexistence, and pattern generation.

Presents a study of arthropod predador-prey systems. This work shows how many of the components of predation may be simply modeled in order to reveal their effects on the overall dynamics of the interacting populations. It also describes how the biological processes of insect predator-prey, including host-parasitoid interactions may be understood.
