A solution to the evolution-related Truscott-Brindley model for the generalized phytoplankton-zooplankton populations
نویسنده
چکیده
Phytoplankton are tiny floating plants (algae) living in oceans. In the process of photosynthesis, phytoplankton produces half of the world's oxygen. Moreover, by primary production, death and sinking, they transport carbon from the ocean's surface layer to marine sediments. There are many species of phytoplankton that can be distinguished according to morphology. In this paper, we investigate the generalised Truscott-Brindley model of the dynamics of zoologically defined interacting populations which have spatial structure. Specifically, we consider conjointly marine phytoplankton and zooplankton populations, and model them as an excitable medium. The resolution using the Boubaker polynomials expansion scheme (BPES) along with stability analysis is carried out.

Mathematical Modelling of Migrated Phytoplankton Species in an Infected and Toxin Producing Phytoplankton-Zooplankton System
In this paper the dynamical behaviour of toxin producing phytoplankton and zooplankton system is investigated. The toxin producing phytoplankton are divided into two groups: susceptible phytoplankton and infected phytoplankton. Conditions of local stability of various equilibrium points are derived. Further it is observed that the range of toxin liberation parameter increases for the coexistenc...
متن کاملEffect of demographic noise in a phytoplankton-zooplankton model of bloom dynamics.
An extension of the Truscott-Brindley model [Bull. Math. Biol. 56, 981 (1994)] is derived to account for the effect of demographic fluctuations. In the presence of seasonal forcing and sufficiently shallow water conditions, the fluctuations induced by the discreteness of the zooplankton component appear sufficient to cause switching between the bloom and no-bloom cycles predicted at the mean-fi...

Planktons are floating microscopic organisms that are confirmed as the primary producers and initial transporters of carbon to the higher levels of food webs. Moreover, planktons have an special importance and status in the habitat of aquatic ecosystems and therefore, their population dynamic assessment is essential in the study of these ecosystems. An extensive range of physical factors viz. n...
متن کاملSPATIOTEMPORAL DYNAMIC OF TOXIN PRODUCING PHYTOPLANKTON (TPP)-ZOOPLANKTON INTERACTION
The present paper deals with a toxin producing phytoplankton (TPP)-zooplankton interaction in spatial environment in thecontext of phytoplankton bloom. In the absence of diffusion the stability of the given system in terms of co-existence and hopf bifurcation has been discussed. After that TPP-zooplankton interaction is considered in spatiotemporal domain by assuming self diffusion in both popu...
متن کاملZooplankton mortality and the dynamical behaviour of plankton population models.
We investigate the dynamical behaviour of a simple plankton population model, which explicitly simulates the concentrations of nutrient, phytoplankton and zooplankton in the oceanic mixed layer. The model consists of three coupled ordinary differential equations. We use analytical and numerical techniques, focusing on the existence and nature of steady states and unforced oscillations (limit cy...
