Over the past decade, many works have studied an antipredator behavior (APB) named prey herd behavior. Analyzes have been conducted by modifying the classical predator consumption rate to be dependent only on the prey population size assuming the square root functional response. This work focuses analyzing the dynamics of a Gause-type predator-prey model considering that social behavior of prey. However, we model this phenomenon using a Holling type II non-differentiable rational functional response, which is more general than that mentioned above. The studied model exhibits richer dynamics than those with differentiable functional responses, and one the main consequences of including this type of function is the existence of initial values for which the extinction of prey occurs within a finite time for all parameter conditions, which is a direct consequence of the non-uniqueness of the solutions over the vertical axes and of the existence of a separatrix curve dividing the phase plane. A discussion on what represents a well-posed problem from both the mathematical and the ecological points of view is presented. Additionally, the differences in other social behaviors of the prey are also established. Numerical simulations are provided to validate the mathematical results.

A stage-structured three-species predator-prey model with Beddington-DeAngelis and Holling II functional response is introduced. Based on the comparison theorem, sufficient and necessary conditions which guarantee the predator and the prey species to be permanent are obtained. An example is also presented to illustrate our main results.

A predator-prey model with Ivlev-Type functional response is studied. The main purpose is to investigate the global stability of a positive (co-existence) equilibrium, whenever it exists. A recently developed approach shows that for certain classes of models, there is an implicitly defined function which plays an important rule in determining the global stability of the positive equilibrium. By performing a detailed analytic analysis we demonstrate that a crucial property of this implicitly defined function is governed by the local stability of the positive equilibrium, which enable us to show that the global and local stability of the positive equilibrium, whenever it exists, is equivalent. We believe that our approach can be extended to study the global stability of the positive equilibrium for predator-prey models with some other types of functional responses.

The model analyzed in this paper is based on the model set forth by Aziz Alaoui et al. [Aziz Alaoui & Daher Okiye, 2003; Nindjin et al., 2006] with time delay, which describes the competition between the predator and prey. This model incorporates a modified version of the Leslie–Gower functional response as well as that of Beddington–DeAngelis. In this paper, we consider the model with one delay consisting of a unique nontrivial equilibrium E* and three others which are trivial. Their dynamics are studied in terms of local and global stabilities and of the description of Hopf bifurcation at E*. At the third trivial equilibrium, the existence of the Hopf bifurcation is proven as the delay (taken as a parameter of bifurcation) that crosses some critical values.

Habitat complexity or the structural complexity of habitat reduces the available space for interacting species, and subsequently, the encounter rate between the prey and predator is decreased significantly. Different experimental shreds of evidence validate that the presence of the predator strongly affects the physiological behaviour of prey individuals and dramatically reduces their reproduction rate. In this study, we investigate the interplay between the level of fear and the degree of habitat complexity in a predator-prey model with two different shaped functional responses. We, therefore, develop the functional response using the timescale separation method, and the shape of the resulting functional response depends upon the monotonous property of catch rate, g N where N is the prey biomass. Whenever g N increases strictly, a saturating functional response occurs, but for nonmonotonic g N , a dome-shaped functional response arises. For saturating case, it has been revealed that both prey and predator biomass may oscillate for lower levels of fear and a lower degree of habitat complexity. To stabilize this oscillatory behaviour to a coexistence state, we have to adequately increase the level of fear or degree of habitat complexity. However, for dome-shaped case, more complicated dynamics are observed. In this case, coexistence steady state, if exists, may be locally asymptotically stable for a lower degree of habitat complexity, but for intermediate values, the system is capable of producing multiple coexistence steady states with a bistable phenomenon between predator-free steady state and a coexistence steady state. Moreover, if the level of fear is sufficiently low, the system may experience a supercritical or/and subcritical Hopf bifurcation. In the dynamics of parametric disturbance for the degree of habitat complexity parameter, dome-shaped functional response predicts that disturbance may trap the system into a nearest attractor (either a large amplitude stable limit cycle or predator-free steady state); this can be overcome only by a larger alteration, or sometimes it is impossible to overcome (hysteresis phenomena), whereas the saturating-shaped functional response predicts a system resilience. For both the functional responses, a higher degree of habitat complexity always increases the extinction possibility of the predator, and no level of fear can compensate this biodiversity loss.

AbstractIn this article, we discuss the dynamics of a Leslie–Gower ratio-dependent predator–prey model incorporating fear in the prey population. Moreover, the Allee effect in the predator growth is added into account from both biological and mathematical points of view. We explore the influence of the Allee and fear effect on the existence of all positive equilibria. Furthermore, the local stability properties and possible bifurcation behaviors of the proposed system about positive equilibria are discussed with the help of trace and determinant values of the Jacobian matrix. With the help of Sotomayor’s theorem, the conditions for existence of saddle-node bifurcation are derived. Also, we show that the proposed system admits limit cycle dynamics, and its stability is discussed with the value of first Lyapunov coefficient. Moreover, the numerical simulations including phase portrait, one- and two-parameter bifurcation diagrams are performed to validate our important findings.

Abstract This paper mainly aims to consider the dynamical behaviors of a diffusive delayed predator–prey system with Smith growth and herd behavior subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. For the analysis of the predator–prey model, we have studied the existence of Hopf bifurcation by analyzing the distribution of the roots of associated characteristic equation. Then we have proved the stability of the periodic solution by calculating the normal form on the center of manifold which is associated to the Hopf bifurcation points. Some numerical simulations are also carried out in order to validate our analysis findings. The implications of our analytical and numerical findings are discussed critically.
