Zusammenfassung

DGLs mit zeitverzögerten Argumenten beschreiben ein Räuber-Beute-System, in dem nur die älteren Individuen räuberisch sind, aber neben der Beutepopulation auch Jungtiere der eigenen Art jagen. Mit zunehmendem innerartlichem Räuberdruck verringern sich zunächst die Amplituden der Räuber-Beute-Oszillationen, bevor mit weiterer Zunahme gedämpfte Schwingungen auftreten. Bei einer kannibalistischen Aktivität, die Labormessungen bei räuberischen Copepoden entspricht, werden die Oszillationen so stark gedämpft, daß sich schnell ein stabiles Gleichgewicht einstellt. Dadurch verringert sich das Aussterberisiko erheblich.

Summary

By differential equations with time delayed arguments, a predator-prey system is described where only older animals are predacious but hunt, besides a prey population, also juveniles of their own species. Increasing intraspecific predation first reduces the amplitudes of predator-prey oscillations; a further increase then causes damping. With a cannibalistic activity as measured for copepods, the system turns very fast into a stable equilibrium. This reduces the risk of extinction drastically.
