The fox and rabbit follow the predator-prey relationship in the forest. The population growth for both species is represented by Lotka-Volterra set of differential equation,

Rabbit : where a=0.4 and b=0.05

Fox : where c=0.2 and d= 0.005

‘a’ is the growth rate of rabbit population and ‘b’ is predation rate. Factor ‘c’ represents the mortality rate of fox and ‘d’ as growth of fox with predation.

Which is of the following slope fields plot represents the variation of fox population with rabbit population if the initial population of rabbit and fox is 20 and 4 respectively?

The local pond is filled with phytoplankton with squids as their natural predators to maintain the population growth of phytoplankton. The Lotka-Volterra equation describes predator prey relationship as:

Phytoplankton :

Squids :

The rate of population growth of phytoplankton and squids is given by above equation with ‘a’ is the growth rate of phytoplankton and ‘b’ is predation rate. Factor ‘c’ represents the mortality rate of squids and ‘d’ as growth rate of squids with predation.

Industrial effluent is being discharged into the lake and is toxic to both species, but directly consumed by phytoplankton only. If squids start consuming toxic borne plankton, the population growth rate will change. What pair of modified equations describe this scenario? Consider ‘x’ as toxicity rate common to both species.

A forest on foot hills has population of snakes and rats. The snake is natural predator of rats and the population growth of both follows the predator-prey equations given by as,
