Plumeria & Tiare (Salon 9 & 10)
Population models in ecology are usually modelled by equations of Lotka-Volterra type or Holling type. Recently, there is a growing evidences that in many situations a more suitable general predator-prey theory should be based on the so called ratio-dependence theory. In this minisymposium, Professor Kuang will introduce various population models of ratio-dependence and explain their biological meanings. Professor Hwang will present the mathematical analysis of a predator-prey of ratio-dependence. Professor Hsu will present the mathematical results of models of multiple species interactions with ratio-dependence, for example, one prey-two predators, food chain models.
