Complex dynamics arising from the interplay between prey harvest saturation and predator-prey dynamics
Abstract
A study of the influence of prey harvest saturation on the dynamics of a predator-prey system is undertaken. It is shown that the augmentation of the constant intensity harvest part of this functional response can significantly change prey-predator dynamics by means of slight variations of the constant harvest intensity, rendering thus species management difficult due to, for instance, multiple attractors. Given that some management policies rely on the harvest saturation structure studied in this work, these results may have significant implications regarding renewable resource management.
