From the distributions of times of interactions to preys and predators dynamical systems
Abstract
We consider a stochastic individual based model where each predator searches during a random time and then manipulates its prey or rests. The time distributions may be non-exponential. An age structure allows to describe these interactions and get a Markovian setting. The process is characterized by a measure-valued stochastic differential equation. We prove averaging results in this infinite dimensional setting and get the convergence of the slow-fast macroscopic prey predator process to a two dimensional dynamical system. We recover classical functional responses. We also get new forms arising in particular when births and deaths of predators are affected by the lack of food.
