Question

Use the Lotka-Volterra competition model to determine whether the two species of Paramecium will coexist or drive each other to extinction in the scenario below. In these examples, N1 = N2, and K1 = K2 = 50.
Scenario 1: Determine the outcome of the competitive interaction between P. caudatum and P. aurelia if K1 = K2 = 50, α = 0.3, and β = 0.6.
Scenario 2: Determine the outcome of the competitive interaction between P. caudatum and P. aurelia if K1 = K2 = 50, α = 1.5, and β = 0.6.
Scenario 3: Determine the outcome of the competitive interaction between P. caudatum and P. aurelia if K1 = K2 = 50, α = 0.9, and β = 1.2.
