The Orgins and Evolution of Predator‐Prey Theory
Abstract
Predator—prey theory is traced from its origins in the Malthus—Verhulst logistic equations, through the Lotka—Volterra equations, logistic modifications to both prey and predator equations, incorporation of the Michaelis—Menten—Holling functional response into the predator and prey equations, and the recent development of ratio—dependent functional responses and per—capita rate of change functions. Some of the problems of classical predator–prey theory, including the paradoxes of enrichment and biological control, seem to have been caused by the application of the principle of mass action to predator–prey interactions. Predator–prey models that evolved from logistic theory or that incorporate ratio—dependent functional responses do not have these problems and also seem to be more biologically plausible.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
