ON THE MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF EFFECTS OF INBREEDING DEPRESSION ON A SIMPLE PREY-PREDATOR COMMUNITY

Abstract

This work is an analytic investigation of the combined effects of inbreeding depression and predation on simple, two species, and prey-predator communities. Whenever the phenomenon exists within a community, the resultant family of closed curves that are ordinarily egg-shaped (Pielou, 1969) will acquire small amplitudes and result into ellipse.
