Title：A short introduction to predator-prey theory.
Time：12/15 (Fri) 15:30-17:00
Location：2nd floor large lecture hall of IONTU
Abstract：
Predator-prey theory is central to ecosystem modeling. In this talk, we will review the evolution of predator-prey theory, from its origins in the Malthus-Verhulst logistic equation (1838), through the Lotka-Volterra equations (1925) and their logistic modifications (Leslie, 1948), the development of predator functional responses (Holling, 1959) and the inclusion of ratio-dependent functional responses (Arditi and Ginzburg,1989)
