Consider the equations describing the interactions of robins and worms , (a) What are the (non-zero) nullclines for this system?

(b) Your nullclines divide the phase plane into four regions. Give a sample point in each region, and indicate for that point whether each of the populations is increasing or decreasing (by entering the word increasing or decreasing appropriate blank):

(i) (, ) is in one region, where
the population of worms, is
and the population of robins, is .

(ii) (, ) is in a second region, where
the population of worms, is
and the population of robins, is .

(iii) (, ) is in a third region, where
the population of worms, is
and the population of robins, is .

(iv) (, ) is in the fourth region, where
the population of worms, is
and the population of robins, is .

Notice what your conclusions about these four regions say about how the populations change with time.
