A Competition-diffusion System with a Refuge
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a model composed of two Lotka-Volterra patches is considered. The system consists of two competing species X, Y and only species Y can diffuse between patches. It is proved that the system has at most two positive equilibria and then that permanence implies global stability. Furthermore, to answer the question whether the refuge is effective to protect Y , the properties of positive equilibria and the dynamics of the system are studied when X is a much stronger competitor.

Extinction in population dynamics.
We study a generic reaction-diffusion model for single-species population dynamics that includes reproduction, death, and competition. The population is assumed to be confined in a refuge beyond which conditions are so harsh that they lead to certain extinction. Standard continuum mean field models in one dimension yield a critical refuge length L(c) such that a population in a refuge larger th...
متن کاملExistence of spatial patterns in reaction–diffusion systems incorporating a prey refuge
Abstract. In real-world ecosystem, studies on the mechanisms of spatiotemporal pattern formation in a system of interacting populations deserve special attention for its own importance in contemporary theoretical ecology. The present investigation deals with the spatial dynamical system of a two-dimensional continuous diffusive predator–prey model involving the influence of intra-species compet...
متن کاملRefuge-mediated apparent competition in plant-consumer interactions.
At the intersection of consumer behaviour and plant competition is the concept of refuge-mediated apparent competition: an indirect interaction whereby plants provide a refuge for a shared consumer, subsequently increasing consumer pressure on another plant species. Here, we use a simple model and empirical examples to develop and illustrate the concept of refuge-mediated apparent competition. ...
متن کاملThe Dynamical Analysis of a Delayed Prey-Predator Model with a Refuge-Stage Structure Prey Population
A mathematical model describing the dynamics of a delayed stage structure prey - predator system with prey refuge is considered. The existence, uniqueness and bounded- ness of the solution are discussed. All the feasibl e equilibrium points are determined. The stability analysis of them are investigated. By employ ing the time delay as the bifurcation parame...
متن کاملSpatial interplay of plant competition and consumer foraging mediate plant coexistence and drive the invasion ratchet.
Indirect effects may play an important role in structuring plant communities. Using a spatially explicit model of consumer foraging and plant competition, we demonstrate how the relationship between the spatial area over which plants compete and the spatial scale of consumer behaviour can determine the outcome of competition when one plant species provides a refuge for mobile consumers (i.e. re...
