Question

In another project in the Pokemon world, you have examined the predator-prey relationship between Dragonites (the predator, on the left) and Squirtles (the prey, on the right). For the prey species, you have found a population growth rate of 0.13 when the predator is not present. For the predators, you have found a population death rate of 0.36 when the prey are not present. When the prey are present, you have found that the conversion rate of prey into new predator production is 0.39. Finally, you have calculated the attack rate (also called the encounter rate) between Dragonites and Squirtles as 0.058. Using these values, determine both the prey isocline (the prey ZNGI) and the predator isocline (the predator ZNGI) using our predator-prey model.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Predators copletely killed and consume many prey in their life.

Preys are free living adult insects.

Equilibrium solution yield predator-prey isocline model.

Isoclines only cross at 90 degree angle.

In predator-prey model, dV/dt = rV- aVP

where a= encounter rate, V= victim or prey, P= predator
