Fig. 1

Competition between two types of prey. The parameter values are from Table 1 unless stated otherwise. A Only the active form of the dormitive prey is present, in competition with the PA prey. The initial population density is [2, 2, 0, 1], α = 1, χ = 1, and φ = 0. B Only the dormant form of the dormitive prey is present, in competition with the PA prey. The initial population density is [2, 0, 2, 1], α = 0, χ = 0, and φ = 0. C Both the active and dormant forms of the dormitive prey are present, in competition with the PA prey. The initial population density is [2, 2, 0, 1]. D A segment of the dynamics in C is enlarged (t ∈ [400, 450])
