Introduction

Being able to identify how predation and competition influence natural selection is essential in understanding the evolutionary ecology of a population of species. In predation, substandard individuals are inherently selected. By substandard these are the young, sick and physically unfit individuals. As a result, preys also evolve into a more resilient ones putting pressure also to the predators. This scenario reflects a coevolution of both predators and preys. In this study, we will examine the predatory-prey relationship and understand the dynamics involved in relation to environmental changes.

Methodology

Four different kinds of prey and five different kinds of predator were considered in this study. ...
