Title: Stabilization by Harvesting in Age-Structured Trophic Networks
Title: 按年龄结构的营养级网络中的捕获稳定化
Abstract: We propose and analyze a nonlinear age-structured multi-species model that serves as a unifying framework for ecological and biotechnological systems in complex environments (microbial communities, bioreactors, and others). The formulation incorporates nonlocal intra- and interspecific interactions modulated by environmental covariates. Under general assumptions on mortality, reproduction rates, and interaction kernels, we establish existence, uniqueness, and positivity of solutions. We illustrate the model's practical relevance along two lines. First, multi-species examples, notably a non-transitive (cyclic) competition model, for which we show that, under the model assumptions, a control applied to a single species can achieve global stabilization of the system. Second, the population dynamics of malaria-vector mosquitoes, for which we develop two control strategies (biological and genetic). In the biological-control scenario, we prove global asymptotic stability of the aquatic compartment by constructing an explicit Lyapunov function. Numerical simulations validate the theoretical results and compare the effectiveness of the proposed strategies in reducing vector density and malaria transmission.
