摘要
Is the classical predator-prey theory inherently pathological? Defenders of the theory are losing ground in the debate. We will demonstrate that detractors' main argument is based on a faulty model, and that the conceptual and predictive bases of the theory are fundamentally sound. (C) 2007 Published by Elsevier Inc.
