From: Density-dependent distributions of hosts and parasitoids resulting from density-independent dispersal rules: implications for host–parasitoid interactions and population dynamics

Fig. 2

Relationship between per-capita parasitism risk and the number of hosts. The per-capita parasitism risk varies with the number of hosts when parasitoids exhibit host-dependent dispersal, whereas the corresponding deterministic model predicts that it is independent of the number of hosts. The number of patches \(N\), number of parasitoids \(P\), and host-dependent parasitoid dispersal \(\mu\) as were varied as shown in the figure. \(\alpha_{i} = 1/N\) for all i, and, a = 1. Each value presented in the figure is the average of 10,000 simulations
