Continuous-time, stage-structured, multiple-species model with applications to amphibians

Since the 1980s, biologists have noticed a major decline in amphibian population. The reason this is so alarming is because amphibians have been seen as a ''Canary in the mine'' when it comes to the world's environmental changes. With global warming and CO"2 emissions all over the news, we have become more aware of how we are impacting our world. If the decline of amphibians is a precursor to what is happening with the environment, then we need to find a good model to give us estimates on what is going to happen in the future. Here we used a predator-prey-competition model to help investigate how three amphibians might interact when confined to the same area.
