Figure 5. Effect of the proportion of predators.

Figure 5

' energy derived from reproduction ( pr ) on model stability. Reactivity of an unstable model cannot be made negative by increasing the proportion of energy from recruitment, but the return rate can be increased. The stabilizing effects of recruitment-derived energy erode when recruitment dominates energy inputs to predators. Model parameters: P* = 0.75; C 1 = C 2 = 0.1.
