Abstract
Let us develop a simple predator-prey model to see that even without migration, the system can exhibit a wide range of responses, not just a simple population crash. Assume that the prey are algae in a pond on which an herbivore grazes. The data for this problem have been invented. Its input data, parameters, and initial conditions would normally be determined by experiment.
That the carnivore may live herbivores must die. H. Spencer, Data of Ethics, 1879
