This unit presented the development of a series of mathematicalmodels that predict with varying degrees of accuracy the outcome ofintraspecific and interspecific competition. One of the most widelyused is the Lotka-Volterra model of predator-prey interactions,which uses a logistic growth formula. This model does notexplicitly include a term to account for predator-prey adaptationsthat may lead to coevolution. Considering this and the conceptspresented in this unit, propose a response to the followingstatement:
"Continuous adaptations resulting in the coevolution of predator âprey parings ultimately leads to the extinction of the preyspecies."
Explain your answer and provide an example supporting yourposition.
