The Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey Equations
One may find out the application of mathematics in the areas of ecology, biology, environmental sciences etc. Mathematics is particulary used in the problem of predator-prey known as lotka-Volterra predator-prey equations. Indeed, differential equations is employed very much in many areas of other sciences. However, most of natural problems involve some unknown functions...
متن کاملPredator learning differences affect the survival of chemically defended prey
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2016.11.029 0003-3472/© 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd on beha Prey animals that possess chemical defences often advertise their unprofitability to predators by a distinctive and conspicuous visual appearance known as aposematism. However, not all chemically defended species are conspicuous, and some are nearly cryptic. Differences in predator community compo...
متن کاملPredator-prey interactions mediated by prey personality and predator hunting mode.
Predator-prey interactions are important drivers in structuring ecological communities. However, despite widespread acknowledgement that individual behaviours and predator species regulate ecological processes, studies have yet to incorporate individual behavioural variations in a multipredator system. We quantified a prevalent predator avoidance behaviour to examine the simultaneous roles of p...
متن کاملBiochemical and electrophoretic analyses of saliva from the predatory reduviid species Rhynocoris marginatus (Fab.).
The saliva of Rhynocoris marginatus consists of amylase, invertase, trehalase, protease, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, phospholipase, lipase, trypsin, hyaluronidase, and esterase. All enzyme activities were significantly higher in the saliva of female R. marginatus when compared to the saliva of male individuals. The saliva was analyzed by tricine SDS/PAGE, sephadex column chromatogra...
متن کاملKaryotype evolution in Reduviidae (Insecta: Heteroptera) with special reference to Stenopodainae and Harpactorinae
Heteropteran insects are characterized by holokinetic chromosomes, and, in most species, the post-reductional meiotic division of sex chromosomes and the presence of one chiasma per bivalent. The Reduviidae have a modal diploid autosomal number of 20 with a range between 12 to 34, and both simple and multiple sex chromosome systems (XY/XX, X0/XX, XnY/XnXn). Within this family cytogenetic report...
