Permanence and Stability of a Kill the Winner Model in Marine Ecology

We focus on the long-term dynamics of “killing the winner” Lotka–Volterra models of marine communities consisting of bacteria, virus, and zooplankton. Under suitable conditions, it is shown that there is a unique equilibrium with all populations present which is stable, the system is permanent, and...

Zusammenfassung:We focus on the long-term dynamics of “killing the winner” Lotka–Volterra models of marine communities consisting of bacteria, virus, and zooplankton. Under suitable conditions, it is shown that there is a unique equilibrium with all populations present which is stable, the system is permanent, and the limiting behavior of its solutions is strongly constrained.
