Evolutionary cycling in predator-prey interactions: population dynamics and the red queen.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Sept 1995

Abstract excerpt

This paper describes the coevolution of phenotypes in a community comprising a population of predators and of prey. It is shown that evolutionary cycling is a likely outcome of the process. The dynamical systems on which this description is based are constructed from microscopic stochastic birth...
