Additional-food predator explosion conjecture for general predator-pest models
Additional-food predator explosion conjecture for general predator-pest models
Consider the general predator-pest model
where is the pest population, is the predator population, is the quantity of additional food, and is a pest-dependent functional response. Additional-food predator explosion conjecture. If , then the predator population blows up in infinite time for any pest-dependent functional response . The claim proposes that sufficiently large additional food can hinder biological control by causing unbounded predator growth and associated non-target effects; its status is not established by the supplied text.
