Table 1 Parameters and their values used in the analysis are listed. Not all parameters are relevant to all analyses. The analysis of stochastic dispersal examines only random dispersal
Symbol | Definition | Value |
|---|---|---|
\(a\) | Parasitoid searching efficiency | 1 |
\(\lambda\) | Host growth rate | 2 to 12 |
\(c\) | Number of emerging parasitoids per parasitized host | 1 |
\(N\) | Number of patches | 10, 100, 1000 |
\(\alpha_{i}\) | Host dispersal probability to patch \(i\) | \(1/N\) |
\(\mu\) | Host-dependent parasitoid dispersal | 0 to 40 |
