This paper deals with the problem of nonconstant harvesting of prey in a ratio-dependent predator–prey system incorporating a constant prey refuge. Here we use the reasonable catch-rate function instead of usual catch-per-unit-effort hypothesis. The existence, as well as the stability of possible equilibria, is carried out. Bionomic equilibrium of the system is determined and optimal harvest policy is studied with the help of Pontryagin's maximum principle. The key results developed in this paper are illustrated using numerical simulations. Our results indicate that dynamic behavior of the system very much depends on the prey refuge parameter and increasing amount of refuge could increase prey density and may lead to the extinction of predator population density.

We study the impact of the Allee effect and prey refuge on the stability of a discrete time predator–prey system. We focus on the stability behavior of the system with the Allee effect in predator, prey and both populations. Based on the combination of analytical and numerical results, we observe that: (1) the Allee effect stabilizes the systems dynamics in a moderate value of prey refuge. (2) For a large fraction of prey refuge no significant improvement in stability is observed due to Allee effect. (3) Refuge may play an important role in managing the populations which are subject to the Allee effect. The population remains stable at an intermediate level of refuge parameter, whereas at relatively low and high refuge effect, prey exhibits chaotic oscillation. Such chaotic behavior is suppressed in the presence of Allee effect. The Allee mechanism and refuge are considered simultaneously on the populations and is shown to have a significant impact on the predator–prey dynamics that may be helpful in the conservation of endangered species.

A diffusive predator-prey system with prey refuge is studied analytically and numerically. The Turing bifurcation is analyzed in detail, which in turn provides a theoretical basis for the numerical simulation. The influence of prey refuge and group defense on the equilibrium density and patterns of species under the condition of Turing instability is explored by numerical simulations, and this shows that the prey refuge and group defense have an important effect on the equilibrium density and patterns of species. Moreover, it can be obtained that the distributions of species are more sensitive to group defense than prey refuge. These results are expected to be of significance in exploration for the spatiotemporal dynamics of ecosystems.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider a nonautonomous predator–prey model with Holling type II schemes and a prey refuge. By applying the comparison theorem of differential equations and constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, sufficient conditions that guarantee the permanence and global stability of the system are obtained. By applying the oscillation theory and the comparison theorem of differential equations, a set of sufficient conditions that guarantee the extinction of the predator of the system is obtained.
