gause_1934_book_app_t04

A dataset containing the abundance of Paramecium caudatum and 
Paramecium aurelia, grown in monoculture and in mixture on buffered medium with
high wild bacteria concentration ("one loop" medium) and low wild bacteria concentration 
("half loop" medium). The number of individuals is reported for monoculture and the 
number of individuals of the species in the mixture.

datasets

A collection of tools and data for analyzing the Gause microcosm experiments, and for fitting Lotka-Volterra models to time series data. Includes methods for fitting single-species logistic growth, and multi-species interaction models, e.g. of competition, predator/prey relationships, or mutualism. See documentation for individual functions for examples. In general, see the lv_optim() function for examples of how to fit parameter values in multi-species systems. Note that the general methods applied here, as well as the form of the differential equations that we use, are described in detail in the Quantitative Ecology textbook by Lehman et al., available at <http://hdl.handle.net/11299/204551>, and in Lina K.
