Dominance and Spatiotemporal Behavior in Cyclic Ecological Systems

Description:

Deterministic models are used to explain and predict the dynamics of ecosystems featuring cyclic competition schemes. The models are systems of reaction-diffusion partialdifferential equations that account for species mobility via Fickian diffusion and interspecies interactions according to the competition scheme. Length and temporal scales are chosen to be appropriate for...
