The characteristics of inducible defenses influence predator-prey dynamics

M. Cortez, E. Hammill, E. Mila

This study uses predator-prey models to show inducible defenses can be stabilizing or destabilizing depending on their response characteristics, affecting stability and oscillations.

Comparing the effects of host species richness on different metrics of disease

M. Cortez

The paper analyzes how host species richness affects three disease metrics using an SIR-type model and sensitivity analysis, finding context-dependent relationships influenced by competition and transmission dynamics.

Exploring how ecological and epidemiological processes shape multi-host disease dynamics using global sensitivity analysis

K. H. Arachchilage, M. Y. Hussaini, N. G. Cogan, M. Cortez

This study uses global sensitivity analysis to examine how ecological and epidemiological factors influence disease dynamics in a multi-host system.

The context dependent effects of host competence, competition, and the pathogen transmission mode on disease prevalence

M. Cortez, M. A. Duffy

The paper examines how host competence, competition, and pathogen transmission mode influence disease prevalence in a focal host using a two-host model.

Matching the forecast horizon with the relevant spatial and temporal processes and data sources

P. Adler, E. White, M. Cortez

The paper shows that ecological forecasts should use different approaches depending on the forecast horizon, with time-series for short-term and space-for-time for long-term.

Destabilizing evolutionary and eco-evolutionary feedbacks drive empirical eco-evolutionary cycles

M. Cortez, S. Patel, S. Schreiber

The paper identifies how ecological, evolutionary, and eco-evolutionary feedbacks influence system stability using nine empirically-parameterized models of exploiter-victim systems.
