Question

These relate to the Lotka-Volterra equations we discussed for competition and for predation. You may have to use web resources for some questions.

For two competing species, use what you know about Lotka-Volterra models to sketch and describe the outcomes for each of the following scenarios:

What would be the ultimate outcome for both competitors in each of the following sets of conditions?

1. K1 = 200, K2 = 100, alpha = 1.5, beta = 2

2. K1 = 100, K2 = 200, alpha = 1.5, beta = 2

3. K1 = 200, K2 = 100, alpha = 2.5, beta = 1.5

Answer 1

Here,Ans. Will be...

The outcome in case 1... species 1 will win the competition.

In case 2..Species 2 will win the competition.

In case 3....Both species have greater competition with each other ,so there is UNSTABLE coexistance.

explanation:::

In lotka voltera competition model we have get 4 situation like Species 1will win,Species 2will win,both species live in stable existance and both in unstable coexistence.It totally depends upon their carrying capacity and inhibitory effect.
