Abstract

In the framework of Lotka-Volterra dynamics with evolutionary parameter variation, it is shown that a system of two competing species which is evolutionarily unstable, if left to themselves, is stabilized by a commmon predator preying on both of them. Game-theoretic implications of the results are also discussed.
