A predator-prey model with optimal suppression of reproduction in the prey.
Several time-discrete ecological models are formulated and analyzed. Common to these models is that a trade-off between reproductive effort and competitive ability is assumed. We investigate how behavioral adjustment (suppression of reproduction) affects the population dynamics.
