In this paper, we study the dynamic behaviors of a predator–prey system with a general form of nonmonotonic functional response. Through analysis, it is found that the system exists in extinction equilibrium, boundary equilibrium and two positive equilibria, one or no positive equilibrium. Furthermore, the conditions are given such that the boundary equilibrium is a saddle, node or a saddle-node point of codimension 1, 2 or 3. Then, some conditions are obtained so that the unique positive equilibrium of the system is a cusp point of codimension 2, 3 and higher or a saddle-node one of codimension 1 or 3, or a nilpotent saddle-node of codimension 4. When there are two positive equilibria in the system, the equilibrium with a large number of preys is a saddle point. For the other one, the system may undergo Hopf bifurcation. To verify our conclusion, we consider the functional response function in the literature [ Zhu et al., 2002 ; Xiao & Ruan, 2001 ]. Finally, we give a brief discussion and numerical simulation.

Abstract In this paper, we consider the dynamics of a predator-prey system of Gause type with cooperative hunting among predators and Holling III functional response. The known work numerically shows that the system exhibits saddle-node and Hopf bifurcations except homoclinic bifurcation for some special parameter values. Our results show that there are a weak focus of multiplicity three and a cusp of codimension two for general parameter conditions and the system can exhibit various bifurcations as perturbing the bifurcation parameters appropriately, such as the transcritical and the pitchfork bifurcations at the degenerate boundary equilibrium, the saddle-node and the Bogdanov-Takens bifurcations at the degenerate positive equilibrium and the Hopf bifurcation around the weak focus. The comparative study demonstrates that the dynamics are far richer and more complex than that of the system without cooperative hunting among predators. The analysis results reveal that appropriate intensity of cooperative hunting among predators is beneficial for the persistence of predators and the diversity of ecosystem.

This paper investigates the diffusive predator-prey system with nonmonotonic functional response and fear effect. Firstly, we discussed the stability of the equilibrium solution for a corresponding ODE system. Secondly, we established a priori positive upper and lower bounds for the positive solutions of the PDE system. Thirdly, sufficient conditions for the local asymptotical stability of two positive equilibrium solutions of the system are given by using the method of eigenvalue spectrum analysis of linearization operator. Finally, the existence and nonexistence of nonconstant positive steady states of this reaction-diffusion system are established by the Leray–Schauder degree theory and Poincaré inequality.

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.

In this paper, we investigate the stability and Hopf bifurcation of a delayed density-dependent predator–prey system with Beddington–DeAngelis functional response, where not only the prey density dependence but also the predator density dependence are considered such that the studied predator–prey system conforms to the realistically biological environment. We start with the geometric criterion introduced by Beretta and Kuang [2002] and then investigate the stability of the positive equilibrium and the stability switches of the system with respect to the delay parameter [Formula: see text]. Especially, we generalize the geometric criterion in [Beretta & Kuang, 2002] by introducing the condition [Formula: see text] which can be assured by the condition [Formula: see text], and adopting the technique of lifting to define the function [Formula: see text] for alternatively determining stability switches at the zeroes of [Formula: see text]s. Afterwards, by the Poincaré normal form for Hopf bifurcation in [Kuznetsov, 1998] and the bifurcation formulae in [Hassard et al., 1981], we qualitatively analyze the properties for the occurring Hopf bifurcations of the system (3). Finally, an example with numerical simulations is given to illustrate the obtained results.

We derive functional responses under the assumption that predators and prey are engaged in a space race in which prey avoid patches with many predators and predators avoid patches with few or no prey. The resulting functional response models have a simple structure and include functions describing how the emigration of prey and predators depend on interspecific densities. As such, they provide a link between dispersal behaviours and community dynamics. The derived functional response is general but is here modelled in accordance with empirically documented emigration responses. We find that the prey emigration response to predators has stabilizing effects similar to that of the DeAngelis–Beddington functional response, and that the predator emigration response to prey has destabilizing effects similar to that of the Holling type II response. A stability criterion describing the net effect of the two emigration responses on a Lotka–Volterra predator–prey system is presented. The winner of the space race (i.e. whether predators or prey are favoured) is determined by the relationship between the slopes of the species' emigration responses. It is predicted that predators win the space race in poor habitats, where predator and prey densities are low, and that prey are more successful in richer habitats.

We study the permanence of periodic predator-prey system with general nonlinear functional responses and stage structure for both predator and prey and obtain that the predator and the prey species are permanent.
