Abstract
This lecture is about a predator-prey system where the predators are excluded from certain areas. The speaker and his research team analyze the possibility of coexistence and the effects on the predator population. Examples are the Marine Protected Areas, or recently reported observations about how canids or felids occupy their territory. The speaker will report on joint work with Bill Fagan and Alex Safsten.
