Abstract

This paper focuses on the environmental impacts of changes in the sex ratio of the lampreys, the assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of lamprey’s adaptations, and their effects on ecosystem stability. In this paper, we first considered Verhulst and Logistic models of ecosystem-sex-ratio interactions, and predicted and analyzed the potential cascading effects of changes in lampreys sex ratio on larger ecosystems under different scenarios. Then, by integrating the Logistic model, we simulated the development and change of the ecosystem under various conditions, identified assessment metrics, and evaluated the relative strengths and weaknesses of the lampreys. The research in this paper provides important evidence for a deeper understanding of the role of the lampreys in ecosystems and the effects of changes in their sex ratio.
