Coexistence for species sharing a predator
A class of equations describing the dynamics of two prey sharing a common predator are considered. Even though the boundary and internal dynamics can exhibit oscillatory behavior, it is shown these equations are permanent if only if they admit a positive equilibrium. Going beyond permanence, a subclass of equations are constructed that are almost surely permanent but not permanent; there exists...
متن کاملOntogenetic diet shifts promote predator-mediated coexistence.
It is widely believed that predation moderates interspecific competition and promotes prey diversity. Still, in models of two prey sharing a resource and a predator, predator-mediated coexistence occurs only over narrow ranges of resource productivity. These models have so far ignored the widespread feature of ontogenetic diet shifts in predators. Here, we theoretically explore the consequences...
متن کاملLearning predator promotes coexistence of prey species in host-parasitoid systems.
Ecological theory suggests that frequency-dependent predation, in which more common prey types are disproportionately favored, promotes the coexistence of competing prey species. However, many of the earlier empirical studies that investigated the effect of frequency-dependent predation were short-term and ignored predator-prey dynamics and system persistence. Therefore, we used long-term obser...
متن کاملTrait adaptation promotes species coexistence in diverse predator and prey communities
Species can adjust their traits in response to selection which may strongly influence species coexistence. Nevertheless, current theory mainly assumes distinct and time-invariant trait values. We examined the combined effects of the range and the speed of trait adaptation on species coexistence using an innovative multispecies predator-prey model. It allows for temporal trait changes of all pre...
متن کاملChaotic Coexistence in a Top-predator Mediated Competitive Exclusive Web
A basic food web of 4 species is considered, of which there is a bottom prey X, two predators Y, Z on X, and a top predator W only on Y . The study concerns with how one type of chaotic coexistence arises. It is shown that under the situation that without the top-predator W , competitor Z goes to extinction, without Z the XYW locks in a periodic cycle, yet with all species, the noncompetitive Z...
