& Nowak 2008). Spatial models have also a long history of investigation in the study of ecosystems and ecological interactions (Levin & Paine 1974, Durrett 1988, Hassel et al 1991, Durrett & Levin 1994). There is also a literature on the dispersal behavior of animals (Hamilton & May 1977, Comins et al
