some examples in plants

rhythm of savanna patch-dynamics. Journal of Ecology 95: 1306–1315
Meyer, K.M., Wiegand, K., Ward, D. and Moustakas, A. (2007). SATCHMO:
A spatial simulation model of growth, competition, and mortality in
cycling savanna patches. Ecological Modelling. 209: 377-391

Eisinger, D. (2009) Are savannas patch dynamic systems? A landscape
model. Ecological Modelling. 220: 3576-3588
and some in fisheries and the 'learning' bahaviour of fishers

explicit learning model of migratory fish and fishers for evaluating
closed areas. Ecological Modelling 192: 245-258

the efficacy of marine protected areas: implications from an
individual based model. Stochastic Environmental Research & Risk
Assessment. 25: 403-413
Hope that may be useful
