Abstract

BARRETO, Luís Soares. Modelling and Simulating Omnivory. Silva Lus. [online]. 2011, vol.19, n.1, pp.67-83. ISSN 0870-6352.

The author extends his models for the prey-predator interaction to omnivory. He considers food chains with three, and four trophic levels. The stability and the sensibility analysis of the models presented are approached. He considers variants of the basic model, such as the balance of the diet of the omnivore. He shows that his modelling strategy can easily incorporate stoichiometric modelling. Adequate conclusive remarks close the paper.

Keywords : Balanced diet; modelling; omnivory; sensitivity analysis.
