Results from our forumConditions for a stable ecosystem? (for a simulation)... can see what I meant in my first post. Depending on what constants I change, I always get one of two results, either the carnivores deplete the herbivore layer or the carnivores can't get enough food to sustain themselves and all that remains is the herbivore and plant layer. To see this happening ...

Conditions for a stable ecosystem? (for a simulation)... than more loner animals. I don't know if this can translate in realistic results but this has been the only way I've been able to control the herbivore population. I've got this statistic that 3 in 5 animals in the African Savanna die from sexually transmitted diseases so I'm using that as ...

Conditions for a stable ecosystem? (for a simulation)... factor to each troph. So for the veg layer, program x% chance that a plant will die due to causes other than herbivory. For the herbivore layer, program x% chance that the animal will die or not reproduce due to causes other than predation. And for the predator, program x% chance ...

Conditions for a stable ecosystem? (for a simulation)... indeed experience such peaks and subsequent collapses, which go like you described: the carnivore population follows the same trend than herbivores, but with some degree of lag. However, complete wipeouts rarely happen, because the nature has had millions of years of time to fine-tune ...
