A mean field, metapopulation model of a predator-prey interaction is developed in order to understand the consequences of habitate destruction at different trophic levels. Such a model allows is to explore different ecological scenarios (donor control vs. top-down control) by changing a single param

We consider a predator᎐prey system with one or two delays and a unique positive equilibrium E#. Its dynamics are studied in terms of the local stability of E# and of the description of the Hopf bifurcation that is proven to exist as one of Ž . the delays taken as a parameter crosses some critical va
## Abstract Mixed cultures of the protozoan __Tetrahymena pyriformis__ and the bacterium __Escherichia coli__ were propagated in chemostats fed with glucose and minimal mineral salts medium. The interior surfaces of some chemostats were treated with a silicone compound but those of other chemostats
## Abstract Experimental games are often used as models of social dilemmas in which small groups of players have unrestricted access to, and share, a common and finite resource of desirable goods in the absence of any binding coordination mechanism. Examples are fishing, hunting, and use of computa
## Abstract Following previous work in which a mass and monoxenous culture of __Vorticella microstoma__ had been successfully established (__Water Res.__, **7**, 615 lpar;1973) another species of Ciliata, __Colpidium campylum__ was subjected to continuous cultivation using __Alcaligenes faecalis__
