Omnivory and food web dynamics
Intraguild predation is a trophic interaction in which two consumers compete for one resource and where one of the consumer species may also feed on its competitor. The intraguild predator’s diet follows from the relative strength of its interactions with its potential prey. Current view holds that weak interactions between species promote the stability of food webs. To the contrary, nutrient e...
متن کاملOmnivory and the stability of food webs.
The ecological concept of omnivory, feeding at more than a single trophic level, is formulated as an intermediate stage between any two of three classical three-dimensional species interaction systems-tritrophic chain, competition, and polyphagy. It is shown that omnivory may be either stabilizing or destabilizing, depending, in part, on the conditions of the parent systems from which it derive...
متن کاملGlobal Stability and Persistence of Three Species Food Web Involving Omnivory
In this paper, the dynamics of a three species food web model consisting of producers, primary consumers and omnivory is studied analytically as well as numeri-cally. The existence of equilibrium points and local stability analysis for this model is carried out together with a bifurcation analysis. The occurrence of hopf bifurcation is also investigated. The persistence conditions of the food w...
متن کاملThe impact of floral resources and omnivory on a four trophic level food web.
Omnivory is common among arthropods, but little is known about how availability of plant resources and prey affects interactions between species operating at the third and fourth trophic level. We used laboratory and field cage experiments to investigate how the provision of flowers affects an omnivorous lacewing, Micromus tasmaniae (Hemerobiidae) and its parasitoid Anacharis zealandica (Figiti...
