Feeding Threshold for Predators Stabilizes Predator-Prey Systems

D. Bontje, B. W. Kooi, G. A.K. van Voorn, S.A.L.M Kooijman (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Since Rosenzweig showed the destabilisation of exploited ecosystems, the so called Paradox of enrichment, several mechanisms have been proposed to resolve this paradox. In this paper we will show that a feeding threshold in the functional response for predators feeding on a prey population stabilizes the system and that there exists a minimum threshold value above which the predator-prey system is unconditionally stable with respect to enrichment. Two models are analysed, the first being the classical...
