Abstract

We consider trophic networks, a kind of networks used in ecology to represent feeding interactions (what-eats-what) in an ecosys- tem. We observe that trophic networks can be naturally modelled as Petri nets and this suggests the possibility of exploiting Petri nets for the analysis and simulation of trophic networks. Some preliminary steps in this directions and some ideas for future development are presented.
