- Parasitism and predation
The first paper considers a model of coupled ordinary differential equations describing the effect of water mites on mosquito populations. The second article investigates a discrete model (coupled maps) describing parasitoid-host interactions.- Modelling parasitism and predation of mosquitoes by water mites, by L. Esteva, G.
