    • Sharpness of saturation in harvesting and predation 

      Kribs, Christopher (American Institute of Mathematical SciencesMathematics Department, University of Texas at Arlington, 2009-10)
      Harvesting and predation occur through contact processes in which the rate at which the managed (prey) population can be found depends on the population size, usually saturating at high densities. Many models incorporate ...
    • Vector consumption and contact process saturation in sylvatic transmission of T. cruzi 

      Kribs, Christopher (Taylor & FrancisDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington; Universidad de Colima, Mexico, 2006)
      Recent research in the transmission of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, some strains of which cause Chagas’ disease, suggests that consumption of vectors by sylvatic hosts such as raccoons may play a role in ...
