In this paper, we consider a species predator–prey model given a reaction–diffusion system. It incorporates the Holling type II functional response and a quadratic intra-predator interaction term. We focus on the qualitative analysis, bifurcation mechanisms and pattern formation. We present the results of numerical experiments in two space dimensions and illustrate the impact of the diffusion on the Turing pattern formation. For this diffusion system, we also observe non-Turing structures such as spiral wave, target pattern and spatiotemporal chaos resulting from the time evolution of these structures.

In this paper, we propose a time-delayed predator-prey model with Holling-type II functional response, which incorporates the gestation period and the cost of fear into prey reproduction. The dynamical behavior of this system is both analytically and numerically investigated from the viewpoint of stability, permanence, and bifurcation. We found that there are stability switches, and Hopf bifurcations occur when the delay τ passes through a sequence of critical values. The explicit formulae which determine the direction, stability, and other properties of the bifurcating periodic solutions are given by using the normal form theory and center manifold theorem. We perform extensive numerical simulations to explore the impact of some important parameters on the dynamics of the system. Numerical simulations show that high levels of fear have a stabilizing effect while relatively low levels of fear have a destabilizing effect on the predator-prey interactions which lead to limit-cycle oscillations. We also found that the model with or without a delay-dependent factor can have a significantly different dynamics. Thus, ignoring the delay or not including the delay-dependent factor might result in inaccurate modelling predictions.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a predator–prey model with a prey refuge and additional food for predators. We study the impact of a prey refuge on the stability dynamics, when a constant proportion or a constant number of prey moves to the refuge area. The system dynamics are studied using both analytical and numerical techniques. We observe that the prey refuge can replace the predator–prey oscillations by a stable equilibrium if the refuge size crosses a threshold value. It is also observed that, if the refuge size is very high, then the extinction of the predator population is certain. Further, we observe that enhancement of additional food for predators prevents the extinction of the predator and also replaces the stable limit cycle with a stable equilibrium. Our results suggest that additional food for the predators enhances the stability and persistence of the system. Extensive numerical experiments are performed to illustrate our analytical findings.

In this paper, we consider a delayed diffusive predator–prey model with Leslie–Gower term and herd behavior subject to Neumann boundary conditions. We are mainly concerned with the impact of time delay on the stability of this model. First, for delayed differential equations and delayed-diffusive differential equations, the stability of the positive equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are investigated respectively. It is observed that when time delay continues to increase and crosses through some critical values, a family of homogeneous and inhomogeneous periodic solutions emerge. Then, the explicit formula for determining the stability and direction of bifurcating periodic solutions are also derived by employing the normal form theory and center manifold theorem for partial functional differential equations. Finally, some numerical simulations are shown to support the analytical results.

The stability of the predator–prey model subject to the Allee effect is an interesting topic in recent times. In this paper, we investigate the impact of weak Allee effect on the stability of a discrete-time predator–prey model with Holling type-IV functional response. The mathematical features of the proposed model are analyzed with the help of equilibrium analysis, stability analysis, and bifurcation theory. We provide sufficient conditions for the flip bifurcation by considering Allee parameter as the bifurcation parameter. We observe that the model becomes stable from chaotic dynamics as the Allee parameter increases. Further, we observe bi-stability behavior of the model between only prey existence equilibrium and the coexistence equilibrium. Our analytical findings are illustrated through numerical simulations.
