This unit presented the development of a series of mathematicalmodels that predict with varying degrees of accuracy the outcome ofintraspecific and interspecific competition. One of the most widelyused is the Lotka-Volterra model of predator-prey interactions,which uses a logistic growth formula. This model does notexplicitly include a term to account for predator-prey adaptationsthat may lead to coevolution. Considering this and the conceptspresented in this unit, propose a response to the followingstatement:

"Continuous adaptations resulting in the coevolution of predator –prey parings ultimately leads to the extinction of the preyspecies."

Explain your answer and provide an example supporting yourposition.

  1. What is likely to happen when there is an increase inthe population of a prey species?
    1. Higher incidence of interactions between prey andpredators.
    2. A subsequent increase in the predator population size.
    3. More chances for the prey species members to be killed.
    4. A and C.
    5. None of the above
  2. Which of the following is an example ofevolution?
    1. The ability of human adults to digest lactose.
    2. A tall giraffe that can eat plants that other members of itsspecies cannot reach.
    3. A bacterium that survives antibiotic treatment.
    4. All of the above are correct.
    5. None of the above.
