R.E.U.?
• Research Experience for Undergraduates• Usually a summer • 100’s of them in science (ours is in math
biology)• All expenses paid plus stipend $$$!• Competitive• Good for resume • Experience doing research

Introduce scavenger on a simple Lotka-Volterra Food Chain
![Page 6: "Food Chains with a Scavenger"](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568160dc550346895dd00d24/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Lotka – Volterra 2- species model
(1920’s A.Lotka & V.Volterra)• dx/dt = ax-bxy
dy/dt = -cx+dxy
a → growth rate for xc → death rate for yb → inhibition of x in presence of yd → benefit to y in presence of x
• Want DE to model situation

More general systems of this type look like:
1. Quadratic (only get terms like xixj)
2. Studied to death! But still some open problems (another talk)

Among other things, a scavenger species z should benefit whenever a predator kills its prey (scavenger eats dead body)
xyz is proportional to the number of interactions between scavengers and carrion.

The Simple Scavenger Model
![Page 12: "Food Chains with a Scavenger"](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568160dc550346895dd00d24/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Note: To simplify the analysis of these systems, it is often convenient to rescale parameters.
The number of parameters that you can eliminate depends on the structure of the system.

Case 1:
z2 = z1
Main Idea: (return map in z) of PROOF
![Page 19: "Food Chains with a Scavenger"](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568160dc550346895dd00d24/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Case 2:
z2> z1 => z3>z2
z3<z2 no good!
z_i monotone increasing
![Page 20: "Food Chains with a Scavenger"](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568160dc550346895dd00d24/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
So…
• z1 < z2 => zi increasing
• z1 > z2 => zi decreasing
• z1 = z2 => zi constant (periodic)
Monotone Sequence Theorem: zi either converges or
goes to +∞

Biologists Not Not Pleased!!
I’m NOT pleased
Scavenger dies or blows up except on a set of measure zero!

We want stable behavior,So let’s make the growth of x logisticlogistic:
hyzgxzfxyzezzxycyybxxyxx

Know (x,y) -> (c, 1-bc) use this to see
e<f(1-bc)c+gc+h(1-bc) implies z is unbounded
e>f(1-bc)c+gc+h(1-bc) implies z goes extinct
e=f(1-bc)c+gc+h(1-bc) implies z to a non-zero limit
Still No good!

Let’s go back to LV w/o logistic,
But put a quadratic death term on the scavenger.

Rutter’s slide
zzz
Average death rate proportional to z, so
Adding a quadratic death term makes perfect sense and is not overkill (but needed here!)
![Page 27: "Food Chains with a Scavenger"](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568160dc550346895dd00d24/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Globally stable limit cycles on every cylinder!
No blow ups or extinctions.

Keys to proof:1) Orbits are confined to cylinders2) For a particular cylinder, the z nullcline
intersects the cylinder at a high point z*.
3) z* is an upper bound for trajectories starting below z*.
4) Every trajectory starting above z* must eventually venture below z*.
5) Very close to xy plane, return map is increasing.
6) Monotone sequence bounded above-> limit.
7) Time averages show you can’t have two limit cycles on the same cylinder.

Other possibilities for further research
• 3 species models w/ scavenger• Scavengers affect other species (crowding)• Scavenger Ring models• More quadratic death terms• Etc. etc. etc.• Ben Nolting (Alaska)
