Document Summary
They are parasite like and also carnivore like. Compensaion lowering n results in reduced intraspeciic compeiion hence increased r observed compensates in part for removal. Increase predator converts prey into ofspring and as a result predator populaion increases. Predator increase may not occur if consumpion level does not permit reproducion. You allocate resources to things for maintenance then use all other resource toward reproducion. But if the predator can only eat enough just to maintain itself then there will be no reproducion. There is a inherent lag between consumpion and reproducion. As predator increases the prey may become harder to catch. Dragonly larvae eat a lot of tadpoles but tadpoles which get eaten, they release keramones which signal other tadpoles to hide out more which changes stuf. Any ime that the prey gets a visual or chemical signal that the predator is around, they can change their behavior.
