  4. SUCCESS OF SPECIES INTRODUCED OUTSIDE OF NATURAL GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION • No Coevolved Interspecific Competitors • No Coevolved Herbivores • No Coevolved Parasites • No Coevolved Pathogens

  5. Predator-Prey Dynamics

  6. What Controls Snowshoe Hare Population Fluctuations? Sunspot Hypothesis (Elton 1924) Overpopulation Hypotheses Food Supply/Quality Hypotheses Predator Hypotheses

  7. TEASING OUT THE INDIVIDUAL EFFECTS: CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT 27 Test for Effects of Predators, Plant Food Supply, Quality

  8. TEASING OUT THE INDIVIDUAL EFFECTS: CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT Controls Supplemental Food Fertilizer Electrical Fence Electric Fence / Supplemental Food 8 YEAR STUDY Krebs et al. 1995

  9. TEASING OUT THE INDIVIDUAL EFFECTS: CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT Fig. 14.15 in Molles 2006

  10. Underlying Processes: Predator – Prey Dynamics Alfred Lotka (1925) Vito Volterra (1926)

  11. Modeling Population Change: Host (= Prey) dNh/dt = rhNh – pNhNp Nh = rh = Np = p =

  12. Modeling Population Change: Predator dNp/dt = cpNhNp-dpNp Nh = Np = cp = dp =

  16. Predator – Prey Oscillation in the Laboratory? Parasitoid Wasp Fig. 14.18 in Molles 2006 Bean Weevil Utida 1957

  17. Predator – Prey Relationships in the Lab (Paramecium – Didinium) G. Gause (1935) Predator: Didinium Prey: Paramecium

  18. Predator – Prey Relationships in the Lab (Paramecium – Didinium) Experiment 1 Fig. 14.19 in Molles 2006

  19. Predator – Prey Relationships in the Lab: Refuges (Paramecium – Didinium) Add a Refuge: Sediment Predator Prey Trial 2 Fig. 14.19 in Molles 2006

  20. Predator – Prey Relationships in the Lab: Restock Predators (Paramecium – Didinium) Restock the Predator Prey Predator Trial 3 Fig. 14.19 in Molles 2006

  21. Predator – Prey Relationships in the Lab (Predatory Mite / Six-Spotted Mite) • Six-Spotted Mite • Feeds on Oranges • Can Crawl or “Balloon” • via Silk Strand • Predatory Mite • Can Crawl • Feeds on Six-Spotted Mite 10

  22. Predator – Prey Relationships in the Lab (Predatory Mite / Six-Spotted Mite) Fig. 12.21 in Cain et al. 2008

  23. Predator – Prey Relationships in the Lab: Refuges and Complexity (Predatory Mite / Six-Spotted Mite) • Additional Complexity • Widely Spaced Oranges • Intervening Vaseline Strips • Posts Inserted on Some • Oranges to Facilitate • Ballooning Huffaker (1958) Fig. 12.22 in Cain et al. 2008
