Use inequalities generated by the Lotka-Volterra competition model to determine whether two species of Paramecium (P. caudatum is "species 1" and P. aurelia is "species 2") will coexist or drive each other to extinction in the three scenarios below. In these examples, N1 = N2, and K1 = K2 = 50.
Scenario 1: Determine the outcome of the competitive interaction between P. caudatum and P. aurelia if = 0.3, and = 0.6.
Scenario 2: Determine the outcome of the competitive interaction between P. caudatum and P. aurelia if = 1.5, and = 0.6.
For scenarios 1 and 2, sketch the outcome of the competitive interaction using N1 and N2 isoclines. Put species 1 on the x-axis and species 2 on the y-axis. Label the points at which your isoclines intersect the axes as K1, K2, K1/? and K2/?. Using your calculations from the questions above, indicate the stable equilibrium point with a star. The units on your graphs should range from 0 to 200, in increments of 40.
