  • Title: Mixed-mode oscillations and chaos in a prey-predator system with dormancy of predators.
    Author: Kuwamura M, Chiba H.
    Journal: Chaos; 2009 Dec; 19(4):043121. PubMed ID: 20059217.
    Abstract:
    It is shown that the dormancy of predators induces mixed-mode oscillations and chaos in the population dynamics of a prey-predator system under certain conditions. The mixed-mode oscillations and chaos are shown to bifurcate from a coexisting equilibrium by means of the theory of fast-slow systems. These results may help to find experimental conditions under which one can demonstrate chaotic population dynamics in a simple phytoplankton-zooplankton (-resting eggs) community in a microcosm with a short duration.
