Chemotactically induced search and defense strategies in a tritrophic system

TL;DR

This paper investigates how migration influences the survival and coexistence of three interacting species in a tritrophic system, especially when the predator would otherwise vanish in a static environment.

Contribution

It introduces a model analyzing the impact of migration on species coexistence in a tritrophic system with intraguild interactions.

Findings

Migration promotes predator survival in dynamic environments.

Coexistence depends on migration rates and interaction strengths.

Static scenarios lead to predator extinction without migration.

Abstract

In this paper we study the question of the survival of a predator which in a static scenario vanishes. we analyze the role of migration on the coexistence of three species interacting through a intraguild relationship.
