A Competition Model for a Seasonally Fluctuating Nutrient
نویسنده
چکیده
A model of two species consuming a single, limited, periodically added resource is discussed. The model is based on chemostat-type equations, which differ from the classical models of Lotka and Volterra. The model incorporates nonlinear 'functional response' curves of the Holling or Michaelis-Menten type to describe the dependence of the resource-exploitation rate on the amount of resource. Coexistence of two species due to seasonal variation is indicated by numerical studies.

Competitive Exclusion of Microbial Species for a Single Nutrient with Internal Storage
We study a chemostat model that describes competition between n microbial species for a single-limited resource based on storage. The model incorporates internal resource storage variables that serve the direct connection between species growth and external resource availability. Mathematical analysis for the global dynamics of the model is carried out by using the fluctuating method. It is sho...

An aquatic model consists of nutrient, phytoplankton and zooplankton has been developed. The hyperbolic form of mortality for zooplankton has been used. The complex behavior of the system is observed in case of fluctuating input nutrient in the system. The extensive numerical investigation revealed the variations in periodic orbits for some sensitive parameters. The short term oscillations has ...
