Coevolution in a One Predator–Two Prey System
BACKGROUND Our understanding of coevolution in a predator-prey system is based mostly on pair-wise interactions. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here I analyze a one-predator-two-prey system in which the predator's attack ability and the defense abilities of the prey all evolve. The coevolutionary consequences can differ dramatically depending on the initial trait value and the timing of t...
متن کاملCoevolution can reverse predator-prey cycles.
A hallmark of Lotka-Volterra models, and other ecological models of predator-prey interactions, is that in predator-prey cycles, peaks in prey abundance precede peaks in predator abundance. Such models typically assume that species life history traits are fixed over ecologically relevant time scales. However, the coevolution of predator and prey traits has been shown to alter the community dyna...
متن کاملWarning signals and predator-prey coevolution.
Theories of the evolution of warning signals are typically expressed using analytic and computational models, most of which attribute aspects of predator psychology as the key factors facilitating the evolution of warning signals. Sherratt provides a novel and promising perspective with a model that considers the coevolution of predator and prey populations, showing how predators may develop a ...
متن کاملPersistence and stability of a two prey one predator system
The purpose of this work is to offer some mathematical analysis of the dynamics of a two prey one predator system in the presence of a time delay due to gestation. We derived criteria which guarantee the persistence of the three species and the global dynamics of the model system. Our study also shows that, the time delay may play a significant role on the stability of the system. Lastly, some ...
متن کاملBifurcation Analysis of a Prey-Predator Coevolution Model
We show in this paper how numerical bifurcation analysis can be used to study the evolution of genetically transmitted phenotypic traits. For this, we consider the standard Rosenzweig-MacArthur prey-predator model and, following the so-called Adaptive Dynamics approach, we derive from it a second-order evolutionary model composed of two ODEs, one for the prey trait and one for the predator trai...
