ABSTRACT

The study of resource-based competition model is an important area of research in population biology. Some experimental investigations on micro-organisms using the chemostat [178, 179] have been conducted in the fifties and perhaps the best laboratory idealization of nature for population studies has been described in Ref. [180]. Also some other mathematical investigations related to two competing populations which are wholly dependent on a self-renewable resource in a habitat without diffusion have been presented [181-183].
