Abstract

iPydisp is an open-source, Python-based tool designed to model the spatio-temporal dispersal of insect species such as parasitoids. It provides an accessible interface for interactive spatio-temporal analysis, using cellular automata algorithms for easy data processing and updates. The tool's main features include intuitive data loading, easy setting of dispersal constraints, and dynamic visualization of dispersal patterns. iPydisp has the potential to improve our understanding of parasitoid dispersal and enhance pest management strategies.
