Parameter | Definition |
---|---|
α | Strength of density dependence. Set to 0.1 |
r F | Intrinsic reproductive rate of the flowering plant independent from pollinator P |
r H | Rate of herbivory of herbivore consuming flowering plant |
c FH | Conversion rate of eaten plant biomass F into herbivore H |
h H | Handling time of the herbivore on the flowering plant |
h P | Handling time of the pollinator on the flowering plant |
b F | Reproductive benefit of pollination visit for the flowering plant |
b P | Reproductive benefit of pollination visit for the pollinator |
c | Degree of pollinator visitation reduction due to effect of herbivore |
d F,d H,d P | Background death rates for flowering plant, herbivorous insect, the pollinator respectively |
Parameters are measured per individual per unit time. The 3 time dependent variables in the model are as follows: F-flowering plant population, H-herbivore population, P-pollinator population
