Role of nutrient bound of prey on the dynamics of predator-mediated competitive-coexistence.

Journal article

The coexistence of competitive species with a shared predator is well established. The effect of 'food-value' on predator-prey dynamics has also received much attention. However, the study of a nutrient bound of prey, specifically on predator-mediated competitive-coexistence has not received much attention. Here we study the effects of the caloric content or a nutrient bound of prey on the dynamics of competitive-coexistence with the shared predator in a specific model. We propose and analyze...
