Persistence in ratio-dependent models of consumer-resource dynamics

Claude Lobry, Frederic Mazenc, Alain Rapaport

Abstract:
In a recent work Cantrell, Cosner and Ruan show that intraspecific interference is responsible for coexistence of many consumers for one resource with a logistic like growth rate. Recently, we have established a similar result for the case of a chemostat using a rather different technique. In the present note, we complement these two works to the case of an unknown nonlinear growth rate for the resource satisfying mild assumptions.
