Title
Sensitivity Analysis of a Three-Species Non-linear Response Omnivory Model

Synopsis
We investigate how sensitive population densities are to changes in the parameters of a three-species non-linear response omnivory model. By deriving sensitivity equations and solving for the sensitivities, we determined that the predator mortality rate is the most sensitive and biologist should take extra care in collecting predator mortality data.
