"All we're doing is playing with several thousand years of predator-prey interaction," he said, looking into a row of television cameras.
Huffaker's experiment is significant because it showed how metapopulations can directly affect the predator-prey interactions and in turn influence population dynamics.
Central to Huffaker's investigations is the concept of predator-prey interactions.
Additionally, it does not address any population controls after the initial bloom, such as nutrient limitation or predator-prey interaction with zooplankton.
The existence of these extinct giants suggests that predator-prey interactions involving lemurs were more complex than they are today.
Over the last thirty years, scientists had studied predator-prey interactions in everything from the lion to the hyena to the warrior ant.
Since then, some authors have used the word to describe the difference between modelled and real predator-prey interactions.
The population dynamics of predator-prey interactions can be modelled using the Lotka-Volterra equations.
According to the theory of predator-prey interactions, the relationship between herbivores and plants is cyclic.
Food webs provide a framework within which a complex network of predator-prey interactions can be organised.
