Abstract
The classical prey-predator model of Lotka-Volterra is revisited. Inst ead of constant growth rates, a modulated growth rate for the prey is used. It is shown that in this very simple case, the resulting system' s evolution may become nonlinearly resonant. This shows that complex b ehaviour is not necessarily related to complex systems.
