Bi-Co Mathematics Colloquium with Dr. Lawrence Seminario-Romero
Abstract:
C.S. Holling described three classic patterns of how predators adjust their feeding rate as prey become more abundant: type I (linear), type II (hyperbolic), and type III (sigmoidal). Most predator–prey models assume type II by default, yet there is strong evidence in nature for type III. In this talk, I will explore a predator–prey model with a type III functional response and show examples of how choosing type II versus type III can lead to very different predictions about population dynamics.
