Computer modeling of population dynamics based on the modified Lotka–Volterra model

The article describes the modeling of population dynamics based on predator–prey model, which considers simultaneous presence of several predator and prey species in system, as well as random changes in the amount of vegetation due to anthropogenic and biotic factors. The model incorporates vegetation as a food source for prey, resulting in a more realistic and comprehensive model. Population over time graphs and phase portraits of the system provide visualization of the modeling results and highlight key patterns. Such programs are excellent tools for teaching students, enabling them to practically apply theoretical knowledge, analyze data, and draw conclusions about population dynamics in ecosystems.
