Competition between the Two Species using the Predator Prey Model

Dr.D.MuthuRamakrishnan, L.Jenathunnisha

Abstract

Predator Prey models are useful and often used in the environmental science field because they allow researchers to both observe the dynamics of animal populations and make predictions of this project as to how they will develop over time. The objective of this project was to create 3 projections of animal population based on a simple Predator- prey model and explore the trend visible. Each case began with a set of initial conditions that produced different outcomes for the function of the population of Foxes and Rabbits over a 30 months’ time span. Using Euler’s method an Excel spreadsheet was developed to produce the values for the population of Rabbits and Foxes over the span of 30 months.
