Question #350258

I have a question related to the refuge effect in ecological models. The assumption is that the population of hosts/prey is divided into two groups. One group consists of individuals that are safe from parasitoids/predators and another group consists of individuals that are exposed to parasitoids/predators and can get parasitized. Does it affect the growth rate in the sense that hosts that are in refuge have a bigger growth rate than those that are not in refuge? Are there some known experimental results, some papers or books that deal with this topic?
