Effects of starvation driven dispersal in competition with a patch model

Abstract

In this thesis, we considered effects of the starvation driven dispersal in competition with a patch model. We have simulation studies to observe the behavior of the species with the starvation driven diffusion. Comparing the starvation driven diffuser and the species migrating by the fixed dispersal, we observe that the starvation driven diffusion is more advantageous strategy to competition. Moreover, we suggest the conjecture of the equilibrium of the system (3.9). Next, Comparing the fast diffuser and the slow diffuser in starvation driven diffusion, we observe that the fast diffusion is more advantageous strategy to competition. Also, we suggest the conjecture of equilibrium of the system (3.6). By our simulations, the starvation driven diffusion is a good strategy to competition.
