Food chain dynamics in the chemostat.

Food Chains in the Chemostat: Relationships Between Mean Yield and Complex Dynamics

A tritrophic food-chain chemostat model composed of a prey with Monod-type nutrient uptake, a Holling Type II predator and a Holling Type II exploited superpredator is considered in this paper. The bifurcations of the model show that dynamic complexity first increases and then decreases with the nutrient supplied to the bottom of the food chain. Extensive simulations prove that the same holds f...

Conceptualization of the dynamics and synergistic partnership between the agri-food production chain and public health veterinarians

Stoichiometry and food-chain dynamics.

Traditional models of chemostat systems looking at interactions between predator, prey and nutrients have used only a single currency, such as energy or nitrogen. In reality, growth of autotrophs and heterotrophs may be limited by various elements, e.g. carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous or iron. In this study we develop a dynamic energy budget model chemostat which has both carbon and nitrogen as c...

Dynamics of Food Chain Model: Role of Alternative Resource for Top Predator

In this paper, effect of alternative resource for top predator in food chain model with holling type III functional response is seen . Proposed model is demonstrated in respect of analytical as well numerical results. Bifurcation study with the variation of alternative resource and half saturation constants are done numerically. Simulation results shows that suitable alternati...

An Analysis on The Lotka-Volterra Food Chain Model: Stability

The food chain refers to a natural system by which energy is transmitted from one organism to another. In fact, a food chain consists of producers, consumers and decomposition. Presence of complex food web increase the stability of the ecosystem. Classical food chain theory arises from Lotka-Volterra model. In the present paper, the dynamics behavior of three level food chain is studied. A syst...
