Prey Switching with a Linear Preference Trade-Off
In ecology, prey switching refers to a predator’s adaptive change of habitat or diet in response to prey abundance. In this paper, we study piecewise-smooth models of predator-prey interactions with a linear trade-off in a predator’s prey preference. We consider optimally foraging predators and derive a model for a 1 predator-2 prey interaction with a tilted switching manifold between the two s...
متن کاملInferring parameters of prey switching in a plankton 1 predator--2 prey system with a linear preference tradeoff
We construct two smooth analogs of an existing piecewise-smooth dynamical system model for freshwater plankton that consists of an adaptively feeding predator and its two prey types. We relax the assumption of “discontinuous” prey switching and thereby allow a gradual change in the predator’s diet choice as a response to prey abundance, and we then fit the parameter to empirical data to infer t...
متن کاملIncremental Trade-Off Management for Preference-Based Queries
Preference-based queries often referred to as skyline queries play an important role in cooperative query processing. However, their prohibitive result sizes pose a severe challenge to the paradigm‟s practical applicability. In this paper we discuss the incremental re-computation of skylines based on additional information elicited from the user. Extending the traditional case of totally ordere...
متن کاملUnderstanding spatial distributions: negative density-dependence in prey causes predators to trade-off prey quantity with quality.
Negative density-dependence is generally studied within a single trophic level, thereby neglecting its effect on higher trophic levels. The 'functional response' couples a predator's intake rate to prey density. Most widespread is a type II functional response, where intake rate increases asymptotically with prey density; this predicts the highest predator densities at the highest prey densitie...
متن کاملStochastic Congestion Alleviation with a Trade-off between Demand Response Resources and Load Shedding
Under the smart grid environments, Demand Response Resources (DRRs) as power system resources can effectively participate in and improve performance of electric systems. Congestion management is one of the technical challenges in which DRRs can play a significant role. Previously, congestion management is applied without considering the power system uncertainties. Therefore, a stochastic conges...
