Persistent predator-prey dynamics revealed by mass extinction.
Predator-prey interactions are thought by many researchers to define both modern ecosystems and past macroevolutionary events. In modern ecosystems, experimental removal or addition of taxa is often used to determine trophic relationships and predator identity. Both characteristics are notoriously difficult to infer in the fossil record, where evidence of predation is usually limited to damage ...
متن کاملPrey evolution on the time scale of predator-prey dynamics revealed by allele-specific quantitative PCR.
Using rotifer-algal microcosms, we tracked rapid evolution resulting from temporally changing natural selection in ecological predator-prey dynamics. We previously demonstrated that predator-prey oscillations in rotifer-algal laboratory microcosms are qualitatively altered by the presence of genetic variation within the prey. In that study, changes in algal gene frequencies were inferred from t...
متن کاملChemotactic predator-prey dynamics.
A discrete chemotactic predator-prey model is proposed in which the prey secrets a diffusing chemical which is sensed by the predator and vice versa. Two dynamical states corresponding to catching and escaping are identified and it is shown that steady hunting is unstable. For the escape process, the predator-prey distance is diffusive for short times but exhibits a transient subdiffusive behav...
متن کاملComputational Complex Predator-prey Dynamics
Two species predator-prey with stage structure of mature and immature mathematical models are studied over the last few decades. Xin-an Zhang et al studied a mathematical model with stage structure of two species in 2010. In this article, an attempt has been made to comprehend the coupled predator-prey dynamics with mature-immature stage structure and compare the dynamics with the existing mode...
متن کاملPredicting Extinction Risk in Spite of Predator–prey Oscillations
Most population viability analyses (PVA) assume that the effects of species interactions are subsumed by population-level parameters. We examine how robust five commonly used PVA models are to violations of this assumption. We develop a stochastic, stage-structured predator–prey model and simulate prey population vital rates and abundance. We then use simulated data to parameterize and estimate...
