To elucidate the interactions between changes in adaptive sex ratios of lampreys and ecosystems, we conducted the following studies; first, we used linear regression to fit the relationship between food availability and sex ratios. Based on vortex modeling and biological knowledge, we simulated three scenarios: natural disasters, species invasions, and data from similar species in normal ecosystems. This led to the modeling of lamprey population growth. To further investigate the effect of sex ratio changes on ecosystem stability, we built an n-dimensional Lotka-Volterra model. Combining the relationship between food supply and sex ratio, we identified the mechanisms by which sex ratio affects ecosystem stability.
