A three-species food-chain model which was previously shown to exhibit chaotic dynamics was revisited. By exploring the sensitivity of that result this study found that complex behavior depended on the functional form chosen to model the interaction between the two highest species in the food chain.
Densities were examined in natural populations consisting of horsenettle (Solanum carolinense), larvae of a horsenettle-specific phytophagous moth (Frumenta nundinella), and a polyphagous parasitoid wasp (Scambus pterophori), that parasitized the moth. Herbivore and parasitoid densities were both po
