For example, a large school of fish can cause nearby sharks, such as the lemon shark, to enter into a feeding frenzy. [1] This can cause the sharks to go wild, biting anything that moves, including each other or anything else within biting range. Another functional explanation for feeding frenzy is competition amongst predators. [2]
Niche models are a notable class of CRMs which are described by the system of coupled ordinary differential equations, [7] [8] = (), =, …,, = + = (), =, …,, where (, …,) is a vector abbreviation for resource abundances, is the per-capita growth rate of species , is the growth rate of species in the absence of consumption, and is the rate per unit species population that species depletes ...

Niche construction is the ecological process by which an organism alters its own (or another species') local environment. These alterations can be a physical change to the organism’s environment, or it can encompass the active movement of an organism from one habitat to another where it then experiences different environmental pressures.
