The Lotka-Volterra Equations: Sharks, Machine Guns, and Ecology

Like they say, "all models are flawed, some are useful." Thanks for explaining, great video!

Thanks so much!

Always great to see a new science channel. Content like this is what makes KZbin great.

Good stuff, just learned about this model today in my bioinformatics class. Thank you for making this. I hope your channel grows :)

[@LifeEquationsVideos]

Thanks so much! Hopefully, I'll be releasing some new stuff soon :)

Nice video! Would like to dive even deeper into the differential equations for next time... 😎

[@LifeEquationsVideos]

Yay! Thanks so much! I was thinking of doing pairs of videos -- a video like this and then a supplemental video that goes into details about the math. Does that sound like a good format to you?

I was looking for a L-V video that explains in simple terms how the mathematics behind the model work for a workshop I'm holding and damn! This video is so underrated! You managed to showcase the importance of L-V model while keeping it simple, and interesting enough so even people who are not scientists can understand it. Thank you very much

Given the ecological efficacy of simplifying assumptions, now I live in fear of spherical sharks. Good luck educating me, your latest subscriber.

Thanks! As it so happens, I'm working on a video where I talk about spherical tigers in a vacuum (so at least someone will get the joke!)
