important question is the taxis <strong>of</strong> parasitoid related to the host individuals.<br />

Though most mo<strong>de</strong>ls consi<strong>de</strong>r that parasitoid individuals search their hosts<br />

randomly, it is known that parasitoid populations tend to group in regions <strong>of</strong><br />

higher concentrations <strong>of</strong> hosts.<br />

In this work, we analyze the impact <strong>of</strong> spatial refuges and taxis<br />

movement in host-parasitoid systems. Based on a coupled map lattice<br />

mo<strong>de</strong>l, we investigate the effects <strong>of</strong> habitat fragmentation induced by the<br />

refuges, consi<strong>de</strong>ring spatial variations <strong>of</strong> the parasitoid efficiency, and<br />

heterogeneous spatial pattern originated from taxis movement.<br />

Keywords - Host-Parasitoid systems, spatial refuges, taxis.<br />
