    2014-Vance-Eads-Sensitivity Analysis of a Three-Species Nonlinear Response Omnivory Model with Predator Stage Structure
    We investigate a three-species nonlinear response omnivory model incorporating stage structure in the top predator. The model consists of four coupled ordinary differential equations involving...
