Sensitive predators and endurant preys in an ecosystem driven by correlated noises

Populations and Evolution 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We investigate the Volterra ecosystem driven by correlated noises. The competition of the predators induces an increasing in population density of the predators. The competition of the preys, however, leads the predators to decay. The predators may have better stability under strong correlated noises. The predators undergo a sensitivity to a random environment, whereas the preys exhibit a surprising endurance to this stochasticity.
