BIOL 127 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Parasitoid, Carrying Capacity, Limit Cycle
Document Summary
Standard lotka-volterra model: know this, what time of dynamics are illustrated in the population vs. time plot to the left, neutral, what time of functional, type i, red lines = where dp/dt=0. Blue lines = p star. dn/dt = 0: how do you calculate the equilibrium value for each line, r1 and c1 are needed to calculate p star. Is this interaction stable: no, carrying capacity is lower density dependence is lower stabilizes more quickly. Aggregation: aggregation of the parasitoids may be the most important factor for damped equilibrium in the field! Patchiness: system of discrete patches, on a patch scale, they are unstable, some that are starting off, some with no parasitoids yet, etc. Interactions between a herbivorous mites and predaceous mites: herbivorous likes to live on oranges. Got an array of oranges, covered with paper and wax seal with markings on top.
