The Effect of Predator Competition on the Stability of Sea Star - Mussel Population Dynamics
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A deterministic model based on energy flow mechanisms that simulates the effect of predator competition for prey on the predatory developmental response is presented, consistent with empirical evidence which shows that sea stars can shrink in order to survive in an environment that does not provide the necessary energy to sustain their growth.
