Abstract

A predator-prey system is modelled by a pair of ordinary differential equations. Conditions are given under which enrichment of the system by increasing the prey carrying capacity leads to instability. More specifically, it is shown that there is a transition from a stable equilibrium point to oscillations and a stable limit cycle.
