The authors propose the forced double-Monod model as a useful stepping- stone in the search for ecological chaos. The model describes a protozoan predator and bacterial prey in a chemostat with an inflowing substrate that is periodically forced. The equations are accessible, yet exhibit a phase-locking route to chaos. In addition, the model lends itself to experimental verification. They discuss the behaviour of the model in anticipation of the necessary laboratory tests.
