Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A. | Colonization of tropical rain forest leaves by epiphylls: effects of site and host plant leaf lifetime | In humid tropical regions, leaves are frequently colonized by epiphylls (Richards 1954, Pocs 1978, 1982). Lichens and liverworts usually dominate, although mosses, algae, and cyanobacteria can also occur (Winkler 1971, Smith 1982).

Clayton, Dale H. | Common grackle anting with lime fruit and its effect on ectoparasites | Anting is stereotyped behavior in which birds ex- pose themselves to fluid-secreting ants or other pun- gent substances. During "active" anting a bird crush- es an ant in the bill and rubs it frenetically through its plumage (Rothschild and Clay 1952). During "passive" anting a bird entices ants to ... | Quiscalus quiscala; Columbicola columbae; Anting; Ectoparasites | 1993 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Migration alone can produce persistence of host-parasitoid models | It has long been recognized that the unstable equilibrium of a single-patch predator-prey model cannot be stabilized by diffusive coupling with identical patches, since the coupled system acts exactly like the single-patch system if the patches are synchronized (Maynard Smith 1974; Allen 1975; Reeve... | Heterogeneity; Nicholson-Bailey; migration rates | 1993 |
