title: PLANKTON FRACTIONATION BY SEQUENTIAL FILTRATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF BIODIVERSITY PYRAMIDS
abstract: Lotka-Volterra predator-prey models are used to study community ecology, but their ability to generate ecological pyramids compared to field data has not been investigated in detail. In this paper, agent-based modeling (ABM) was used instead of systems of ordinary differential equations (ODE). It was shown that the two-component producer-consumer system is unstable, whereas the three-component system with consumers of the 1st and 2nd order is stable under prolonged simulation.
