Interaction between predators (Cheyletus eruditus) and prey (Aleuiroglyphus agilis) on millet, wheat flour and a mixture of these substances.

Description

A dataset containing the abundance of Cheyletus eruditus and Aleuiroglyphus agilis, as apredator-prey system under different food conditions for the prey (wheat and millet). Gause's goal was to determine the influence of ecological factors on predator-prey dynamics. The number of individuals is reported as Individuals per 0.2 g prey food.
