Effect on Persistence of Intra-specific Competition in Competition Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
An ecological model describing the competition for a single substrate of an arbitrary number of species is considered. The mortality rates of the species are not supposed to have all the same value and the growth function of the substrate is not supposed to be linear or decreasing. Intra-specific competition is taken into account. Under additional technical assumptions, we establish that the model admits a globally asymptotically stable positive equilibrium point. This ensures persistence of the species. Our proof relies on a Lyapunov function.

DYNAMIC COMPLEXITY OF A THREE SPECIES COMPETITIVE FOOD CHAIN MODEL WITH INTER AND INTRA SPECIFIC COMPETITIONS
The present article deals with the inter specific competition and intra-specific competition among predator populations of a prey-dependent three component food chain model consisting of two competitive predator sharing one prey species as their food. The behaviour of the system near the biologically feasible equilibria is thoroughly analyzed. Boundedness and dissipativeness of the system are e...
متن کاملDynamics of two-species contest competition models subject to Allee effects
In this article, we propose a general two species contest competition model subject to Allee effects and study its population dynamics to obtain insights on how the interplay of Allee effects and contest competitions affect the persistence and the extinction of two competing species. By using the monotone dynamical theory and the properties of critical curves for non-invertible maps, our analys...
متن کاملExamining the Moderating Effect of Industry Competition on Relationship between Privatization, Financial Performance and Using of Management Accounting Tools in TSE
In many countries, particularly developing countries, economic reforms, especially privatization, are considered as a strategic approach. The growth of the government decreases the competition in the market, and so, some fields should be privatized in order to create the competition. By moving towards privatization and the changes in competition methods and the presentation of the World Trade,...
متن کاملPolytopic Lyapunov functions for persistence analysis of competing species
ABSTRACT. We show that stability of the equilibrium of a family of interconnected scalar systems can be proved by using a sum of monotonic C functions as Lyapunov function. We prove this result in the general framework of nonlinear systems and then in the special case of Kolmogorov systems. As an application, it is then used to show that intra-specific competition can explain coexistence of sev...
متن کاملEffect of habitat degradation on competition, carrying capacity, and species assemblage stability
Changes in species' trophic niches due to habitat degradation can affect intra- and interspecific competition, with implications for biodiversity persistence. Difficulties of measuring species' interactions in the field limit our comprehension of competition outcomes along disturbance gradients. Thus, information on how habitat degradation can destabilize food webs is scarce, hindering predicti...
