Invasion of a persistent system

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2277193





The following case is considered: When is it possible for an invading population to successfully infiltrate a community? After the problem is formulated in terms of the mathematical notions of persistence, the main theorem and its proof are represented. The main theorem gives criteria that guarantee, for some parameter value, that the invasion by a new species of a persistent n-dimensional system will be successful at least deterministically in the sense that they ensure that the resulting \((n+1)\)-dimensional system will be persistent. A generalized theorem of the main theorem is also represented. In this theorem, invasion by a new species may drive certain species to extinction. Finally, the author shows how to apply the main theorem using the nondimensional version of a system modelling predator-mediated competition in a chemostat.
