This paper introduces a state-switching habitat selection model that incorporates animal experience, showing that woodland caribou integrate predation risk over 15 days but food intake over 2 days when deciding to stay or leave an area.

The paper uses mathematical models to study how evolutionary trade-offs affect dispersal and spreading speed during species invasions.

The paper presents a mechanistic model of mountain pine beetle population dynamics, showing how climate change can shift parameters to eliminate endemic equilibria and trigger outbreaks.

This study models mountain pine beetle abundance in novel hosts, finding jack pine is less susceptible than lodgepole pine, with lower infestation rates and reproduction.

This study models mountain pine beetle spread, showing that host resistance can stop outbreaks and that jack pine may be a suitable host.

This study models mountain pine beetle outbreaks under climate change, finding increased infestation probability and numbers with rising temperatures.

The paper uses a mechanistic model to simulate mountain pine beetle spread under climate change, finding faster and more severe outbreaks in the future.
