Scramble Versus Contest Competition In a Two Patch System
نویسنده
چکیده
The population dynamics in two patch discrete-time systems are different if they are modeled by the Logistic and Verhulst equations. First, we analyze one patch systems modeled with each of the equations. Then we study two patch systems, where the local dynamics between the two patches are coupled with Logistic equations regulated by the scramble competition. We also compare this with the Verhulst equation where the behavior is regulated by contest competition. It is known that fractal basin boundaries of attractors could occur in two-patch systems regulated by the scramble competition. We show that such complex dynamics do not occur in contest competition with dispersion between patches. [5]

Hierarchical models of intra-specific competition: scramble versus contest
Hierarchical structured models for scramble and contest intraspecific competition are derived. The dynamical consequences of the two modes of competition are studied under the assumption that both populations divide up the same amount of a limiting resource at equal population levels. A comparison of equilibrium levels and their resiliences is made in order to determine which mode of competitio...
متن کاملDynamics of two-species contest competition models subject to Allee effects
In this article, we propose a general two species contest competition model subject to Allee effects and study its population dynamics to obtain insights on how the interplay of Allee effects and contest competitions affect the persistence and the extinction of two competing species. By using the monotone dynamical theory and the properties of critical curves for non-invertible maps, our analys...
متن کاملScramble and contest competition, unequal resource allocation, and resource monopolization as determinants of population dynamics
Questions: How do unequal resource allocation, asymmetry, and resource monopolization each affect a population’s stability and persistence? How do they differ in their importance to stability and persistence? How may one define precisely the terms ‘scramble competition’ and ‘contest competition’? Might individual-based modelling help us to develop general population theory? Or is it useful only...
متن کاملCombined effect of successive competition periods on population dynamics
This study investigates the effect of competition between individuals on population dynamics when they compete for different resources during different seasons or during different growth stages. Individuals are assumed to compete for a single resource during each of these periods according to one of the following competition types: scramble, contest, or an intermediate between the two. The effe...
متن کاملTwo-species asymmetric competition: effects of age structure on intra- and interspecific interactions.
1. The patterns of density-dependent resource competition and the mechanisms leading to competitive exclusion in an experimental two-species insect age-structured interaction were investigated. 2. The modes of competition (scramble or contest) and strength of competition (under- to overcompensatory) operating within and between the stages of the two species was found to be influenced by total c...
