Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title><p>While interactions in nature are inherently local, ecological models often assume homogeneity across space, allowing for generalization across systems and greater mathematical tractability. Density-dependent disease models are a prominent example that assumes homogeneous interactions, leading to the prediction that disease transmission will scale linearly with population density. In this...
