The dynamics of dining in an all-you-can-eat-phytoplankton buffet
Assorted diatoms as seen through a microscope. These specimens were living between crystals of annual sea ice in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. – Image source: Wikimedia Predators’ switching towards the most abundant prey is a mechanism that stabilizes population dynamics and helps overcome competitive exclusion of species in food webs. However, current formulations of active prey-switching … Continue reading The dynamics of dining in an all-you-can-eat-phytoplankton buffet -
