Exercise 5

Calculate the population changes from Equations (11.2) and (11.3) for ten generations in a hypothetical predator-prey system with discrete generations in which the parameters for the prey are B = 0.03, N eq = 100, C = 0.5, and starting density is 50 prey, and for the predators, Q = 0.02 (or S = 2.0) and starting density is 0.2. Flow would the prey population change in the absence of the predators?
