The Dynamics of the Schoener-Polis-Holt model of Intra-Guild Predation

Intraguild predation occurs when one species (theintraguild predator) predates on and competes with another species(the intraguild prey). A classic model of this interaction wasintroduced by Gary Polis and Robert Holt building on a model ofcompeting species by Thomas Schoener. A global analysis reve...

description Intraguild predation occurs when one species (theintraguild predator) predates on and competes with another species(the intraguild prey). A classic model of this interaction wasintroduced by Gary Polis and Robert Holt building on a model ofcompeting species by Thomas Schoener. A global analysis reveals thatthis model exhibits generically six dynamics: extinction of one orboth species; coexistence about a globally stable equilibrium;contingent exclusion in which the first established species preventsthe establishment of the other species; contingent coexistence inwhich coexistence or displacement of the intraguild prey depend oninitial conditions; exclusion of the intraguild prey; and exclusionof the intraguild predator. Implications for biological control andcommunity ecology are discussed.
