Epidemiological modeling of invasion in heterogeneous landscapes: spread of sudden oak death in California (1990–2030) (2011, background): “Predictive models are also required to design control strategies that are capable of having impacts at appropriately large scales to manage or contain invasions (Holdenrieder et al. 2004, Ostfeld et al. 2005, Gilligan et al. 2007).”
Effects of landscape heterogeneity on the emerging forest disease sudden oak death (2007, background): “Edge effects, or spatially varying differences in microclimate conditions, are often called upon to explain spatially varying differences in habitat quality, and thus species abundances (Chen et al. 1999; Ostfeld et al. 2005).”
