“Seasonality in Environment and Population Processes Alters Population Spatial Synchrony”

Posted on April 10, 2024 by Jeremy Summers

Read about “Seasonality in Environment and Population Processes Alters Population Spatial Synchrony” by Jonathan A. Walter, Daniel C. Reuman, Kimberly R. Hall, Herman H. Shugart, and Lauren G. Shoemaker (October 2023)

Spatial synchrony is a key feature of pest and disease outbreaks and major source of instability, but little is known about how seasonality affects it. Walter et al. show using theoretical models how seasonality in population processes and environmental drivers alters synchrony.
