To be precise, the BPQs $b_{11}$, $b_{12}$, $b_{13}$, $b_{14}$, $b_{15}$, $b_{21}$ and $b_{22}$ respectively correspond to the inclusion of Rogers' host-parasitoid model [36], the host-parasitoid model by Nicholson and Bailey [33], Holling's predation model [16], Thompson's host-parasitoid model [38], the predation model by Lotka and Volterra [25,44], a logistic population growth model [43] and an exponential population growth model [26].
