Abstract
Simulation is an essential tool for the investigation of laws and functioning in ecosystems. Models of populations are only realistic if the physiological constraints of the individuals are considered. Some specific problems of ecological modelling are demonstrated on such a model concept asking for the consequences of cannibalism on predacious Zooplankton. With finely structured compartments of detailed developmental stages it is possible to follow an age structure, which is highly instable under cannibalism. General statements are given on the conditions, when cannibalism destroys its own population and when cannibalism is a stabilizing factor in predator-prey-systems.
