متن کاملStability of Cluster Solutions in a Tritrophic Food Chain Model
We study a tritrophic food chain model which is based on Schnakenberg type kinetics. This model is realistic in a predator-prey context if cooperation of predators is prevalent in the system. The system also serves as a model for a sequence of irreversible autocatalytic reactions in a container which is in contact with a well-stirred reservoir. It is an extension of the Schnakenberg model sugge...
متن کاملBelyakov Homoclinic Bifurcations in a Tritrophic Food Chain Model
Complex dynamics of the most frequently used tritrophic food chain model are investigated in this paper. First it is shown that the model admits a sequence of pairs of Belyakov bifurcations (codimension-two homoclinic orbits to a critical node). Then fold and period-doubling cycle bifurcation curves associated to each pair of Belyakov points are computed and analyzed. The overall bifurcation sc...
متن کاملSynchrony in tritrophic food chain metacommunities.
The synchronous behaviour of interacting communities is studied in this paper. Each community is described by a tritrophic food chain model, and the communities interact through a network with arbitrary topology, composed of patches and migration corridors. The analysis of the local synchronization properties (via the master stability function approach) shows that, if only one species can migra...
متن کاملTop-predator abundance and chaos in tritrophic food chains
Nonlinear models and laboratory experiments suggest that populations can be chaotic, whereas field data show that a fair proportion of observed populations are not too far from being chaotic. Thus, a natural question arises: do ecosystems enjoy special properties at the edge of chaos? By limiting the analysis to three classes of tritrophic food chains and to the role played by the nutrient avai...
