MI-Sim: A MATLAB package for the numerical analysis of microbial ecological interactions.

摘要: Food-webs and other classes of ecological network motifs, are a means describing feeding relationships between consumers producers in an ecosystem. They have application across scales where they differ only the underlying characteristics organisms substrates system. Mathematical modelling, using mechanistic approaches to describe dynamic behaviour properties system through sets ordinary differential equations, has been used extensively ecology. Models allow simulation dynamics various motifs their numerical analysis provides greater understanding interplay components intrinsic properties. We developed MI-Sim software for use with MATLAB rigorous rapid several common motifs. contains series most commonly such as cooperation, competition predation. It does not require detailed knowledge mathematical analytical techniques is offered single graphical user interface containing all input output options. The tools available current version include model simulation, steady-state existence stability analysis, basin attraction analysis. includes seven interaction growth function models. Unlike tools, designed simple user-friendly tool specific population type models, allowing assessment dynamical behavioural
