Abstract

P systems provide a high level computational modeling framework which integrates the structural and dynamic aspects of ecosystems in a comprehensive and relevant way. In previous works, several ecosystems modeled by using P systems were presented. The good results obtained encourage us to study new ecosystems such as the one presented in this paper. Pyrenean Chamois (Rupicapra p. pyrenaica) is an ungulate species inhabiting the Catalan Pyrenees. In recent years, several diseases have caused a drastic decrease in the number of individuals. Since they provide significant economic contributions in the area and constitutes an important food resource for obligate and facultative scavengers, it is very interesting to provide a model in order to facilitate the management of their ecosystems
