Abstract

THE Volterra-Gause equations¹ - the mathematical formulation of the principle of competitive exclusion² - are illusr rid="illus1" where r₁ is the intrinsic rate of increase of species 1, N₁ is its population size, and K₁ is the expected value of N₁ in single species culture. The constants α and β, the coefficients of competition, denote the relative effect of the abundance of one species on the population growth rate of the other. These relationships imply that for a stable competitive equilibrium to obtain it is necessary that illusr rid="illus2".
