Effect of Predator Efficiency on Equilibrium Densities & Pop. Stability

Objectives:

  • To understand the effect of predator efficiency on equilibrium densities using logistic growth equation (continuous).

  • To analyze the effect on equilibrium densities of predator and prey populations by varying the predator efficiency ("Encounters result in kill of the prey" parameter in the simulator).

  • To understand the effect of predator efficiency on population stability using established Mathematical model of Lotka-Volterra Equations.

  • To analyze the effect of the predator efficiency on stability of the interaction, by changing critical parameters like "Encounters result in kill of the prey".
