【 摘 要 】

An important class of interactions between biological species is the stability. We investigate the ecological, biological and economical impacts of petroleum exploration on the Niger Delta region of Southern Nigeria. A modified reaction-diffusion model describing the spread of the predators into the prey populations is adopted to establish the interaction between the parties involved. An attempt was made to explore dispersion and patchiness of the residents resulting from these issues. Evidence from this study showed that continual invasions of the prey species by the predator species could lead to extinction of the former in the long run. Strategies are suggested on how to ensure peace and coexistence in the region.
