The interplay among prey preference, nutrient enrichment and stability in an omnivory system

Abstract: Food webs usually display an intricate mix of trophic interactions where multiple prey are common. In this context omnivory has been the subject of intensive analysis regarding food web stability and structure. In a three species omnivory setting it is shown that the modeling of prey preference by the top predator may exert a strong influence on the short as well as on the long term dynamics of the respective food web. Clearly, this has implications concerning the stability and the structure of omnivory system… Show more

“…In particular, this effect only increased the persistence of the omnivore when it would otherwise be excluded due to competition, and may not by itself explain the persistence of consumers or the prevalence of omnivory in natural communities. Another model with optimal foraging allowed the coexistence of omnivore and consumer over a wider range of degrees of omnivory (x parameter in Vandermeer 2006) than models without prey switching (Faria and Costa 2009). Finally, Abrams and Fung (2010a) demonstrated that all three species can coexist across a wide range of productivities if the omnivore exhibits adaptive prey choice and cannot persist on basal resource alone, or if its functional response to the basal resource is substantially less linear than that of the prey (Abrams and Fung 2010a).…”

“…Diversos trabalhos analisam os diversos aspectos da dinâmica de redes tróficas sob o enfoque de preferência fixa ou variável (Holt 1977, McCann & Hastings 1997, Polis et al 2000, Huxel et al 2002, Teng & McCann 2004, McCann et al 2005, Vandermeer 2006, Faria et al 2008, Faria & Costa 2009a, Faria & Costa 2009b, Faria & Costa 2010. Sendo assim, as diferentes redes tróficas aqui discutidas serão analisadas separadamente para uma melhor compreensão de seus respectivos resultados.…”

“…Até o começo dos anos 90, onivoria era considerada uma interação rara em comunidades naturais em decorrência: (i) do pouco conhecimento empírico das redes tróficas de sistemas naturais (Polis & Strong1996, Pimm 2002); (ii) da instabilidade inerente às dinâmicas resultantes de seus modelos teóricos (McCann & Hastings 1997, Pimm 2002. Com o aperfeiçoamento da resolução empírica (item(i)) de redes tróficas (Polis & Strong 1996) e a inserção de vários tipos de força de interação e preferência alimentar nos modelos teóricos promovendo a estabilização de diversos sistemas tróficos (McCann & Hastings 1997, Faria & Costa 2009b, onivoria vem sendo considerada como uma interação relativamente comum em sistemas naturais. figura 02: Diagrama de uma rede trófica onívora com preferência alimentar (p).…”

“…However, the synergism between weak and strong interactions has recently been proposed to be an important factor in promoting food web stability McCann, 2000). To name a few examples, primary productivity (Faria and Costa, 2009b;Rosenzweig, 1971), allochthonous inputs (Jefferies, 2000;Polis et al, 2004;Rose and Polis, 1998) and food preference (Faria and Costa, 2009a;Huxel and McCann, 1998) have been shown to significantly influence stability and species coexistence in food webs by means of interaction strengths.…”
