Sensitivity of the dynamics of the general Rosenzweig–MacArthur model to the mathematical form of the functional response: a bifurcation theory approach

Abstract: The equations in the Rosenzweig-MacArthur predator-prey model have been shown to be sensitive to the mathematical form used to model the predator response function even if the forms used have the same basic shape: zero at zero, monotone increasing, concave down, and saturating. Here, we revisit this model to help explain this sensitivity in the case of three response functions of Holling type II form: Monod, Ivlev, and Hyperbolic tangent. We consider both the local and global dynamics and determine the possibl… Show more

“…The underlying idea behind our approach is that the cost of choosing one model to make a prediction increases if (i) there is a high probability that another model also fits available data well and (ii) the two models make different predictions. Thus, this approach extends earlier studies on structural sensitivity ( [8,9], among others) by considering the fact that, even if alternative models predict different dynamics, one model may outperform others in fitting available data. Again with the Rosenzweig-MacArthur model, we illustrate this possibility in figure 5 by using data on the ingestion rate (i.e.…”

“…Empirical data were not considered in previous structural sensitivity analyses in Rozensweig-MacArthur model [8,9]. As our baseline, we therefore use three examples of functional-response data to provide an overview of our approach and its practical use.…”

“…It is interesting to mention that the above properties do not hold for the model (1) with the simplified Monod-Haldane functional response (6). It has been shown in [15,22] that, with the simplified Monod-Haldane functional response (6), the model can exhibit complicated dynamics, such as the subcritical Hopf bifurcation that leads to the co-existence of a stable positive equilibrium and multiple limit cycles, a phenomenon also observed in [17,18] for certain types of functional response.…”
