Many important factors in ecological communities are related to the interplay between predation and competition. Intraguild predation or IGP is a mixture of predation and competition which is a very basic three-dimensional system in food webs where two species are related to predator–prey relationship and are also competing for a shared prey. On the other hand, Allee effect is also a very important ecological factor which causes significant changes to the system dynamics. In this work, we consider a intraguild predation model in which predator is specialist, the growth of shared prey population is subjected to additive Allee effect and there is Holling-Type III functional response between IG prey and IG predator. We analyze the impact of Allee effect on the global dynamics of the system with the prior knowledge of the dynamics of the model without Allee effect. Our theoretical and numerical analyses suggest that: (1) Trivial equilibrium point is always locally asymptotically stable and it may be globally stable also. Hence, all the populations may go to extinction depending upon initial conditions; (2) Bistability is observed between unique interior equilibrium point and trivial equilibrium point or between boundary equilibrium point and trivial equilibrium point; (3) Multiple interior equilibrium points exist under certain parameters range. We also provide here a comprehensive study of bifurcation analysis by considering Allee effect as one of the bifurcation parameters. We observed that Allee effect can generate all possible bifurcations such as transcritical bifurcation, saddle-node bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation, Bogdanov–Taken bifurcation and Bautin bifurcation. Finally, we compared our model with the IGP model without Allee effect for better understanding the impact of Allee effect on the system dynamics.

In the present paper, we investigate the impact of fear in an intraguild predation model. We consider that the growth rate of intraguild prey (IG prey) is reduced due to the cost of fear of intraguild predator (IG predator), and the growth rate of basal prey is suppressed due to the cost of fear of both the IG prey and the IG predator. The basic mathematical results such as positively invariant space, boundedness of the solutions, persistence of the system have been investigated. We further analyze the existence and local stability of the biologically feasible equilibrium points, and also study the Hopf-bifurcation analysis of the system with respect to the fear parameter. The direction of Hopf-bifurcation and the stability properties of the periodic solutions have also been investigated. We observe that in the absence of fear, omnivory produces chaos in a three-species food chain system. However, fear can stabilize the chaos thus obtained. We also observe that the system shows bistability behavior between IG prey free equilibrium and IG predator free equilibrium, and bistability between IG prey free equilibrium and interior equilibrium. Furthermore, we observe that for a suitable set of parameter values, the system may exhibit multiple stable limit cycles. We perform extensive numerical simulations to explore the rich dynamics of a simple intraguild predation model with fear effect.

The article aims to study a prey–predator model which includes the Allee effect phenomena in prey growth function, density dependent death rate for predators and Beddington–DeAngelis type functional response. We notice the changes in the existence and stability of the equilibrium points due to the Allee effect. To investigate the complete global dynamics of the Allee model, we present here a two-parametric bifurcation diagram which describes the effect of density dependent death rate parameter of predator on dynamical changes of the system. We have also analyzed all possible local and global bifurcations that the system could go through, namely transcritical bifurcation, saddle-node bifurcation, Hopf-bifurcation, cusp bifurcation, Bogdanov–Takens bifurcation and homoclinic bifurcation. Finally, the impact of the Allee effect in the considered system is investigated by comparing the dynamics of both the systems with and without Allee effect.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the dynamical behavior of a two-species predator–prey model with Holling type IV functional response and nonlinear predator harvesting. The positivity and boundedness of the solutions of the model have been established. The considered system contains three kinds of equilibrium points. Those are the trivial equilibrium point, axial equilibrium point and the interior equilibrium points. The trivial equilibrium point is always saddle and stability of the axial equilibrium point depends on critical value of the conversion efficiency. The interior equilibrium point changes its stability through various parametric conditions. The considered system experiences different types of bifurcations such as Saddle-node bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation, Transcritical bifurcation and Bogdanov–Taken bifurcation. It is clear from the numerical analysis that the predator harvesting rate and the conversion efficiency play an important role in stability of the system.

This study discusses the interaction of students with a mathematical modeling point of view. This interaction involves students who understand and do not understand mathematics subject matter. The interaction process between groups is modeled in a two-dimensional system of differential equations. Variable A is the percentage of students who understand the material, and variable B is the percentage of students who do not understand the material. The dynamic analysis results obtained by one trivial equilibrium point and three non-trivial equilibrium points exist with several conditions. Based on the stability analysis of the non-trivial equilibrium point, it is found that the conditions without students do not understand mathematics subject matter. This condition is the goal of this study, which involves interaction between students; it can increase the learning process's success.

Of concern is the global dynamics of a two-species Holling-II amensalism system with nonlinear growth rate. The existence and stability of trivial equilibrium, semi-trivial equilibria, interior equilibria and infinite singularity are studied. Under different parameters, there exist two stable equilibria which means that this model is not always globally asymptotically stable. Together with the existence of all possible equilibria and their stability, saddle connection and close orbits, we derive some conditions for transcritical bifurcation and saddle-node bifurcation. Furthermore, the global dynamics of the model is performed. Next, we incorporate Allee effect on the first species and offer a new analysis of equilibria and bifurcation discussion of the model. Finally, several numerical examples are performed to verify our theoretical results.

In this work, the dynamical behavior of the system with two preys and one predator population is investigated. The predator exhibits a Holling type II response to one prey which is harvested and a Beddington-DeAngelis functional response to the other prey. The boundedness of the system is analyzed. We examine the occurrence of positive equilibrium points and stability of the system at those points. At trivial equilibrium E0and axial equilibrium (E1); the system is found to be unstable. Also we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of interior equilibrium point (E6) and local and global stability of the system at the interior equilibrium (E6): Depending upon the existence of limit cycle, the persistence condition is established for the system. The numerical simulation infer that varying the parameters such as e and λ1it is possible to change the dynamical behavior of the system from limit cycle to stable spiral. It is also observed that the harvesting rate plays a crucial role in stabilizing the system.

We proposed and analyzed a stage-structure Rosenzweig-MacArthur model incorporating a prey refuge.  It is assumed that the prey is a stage-structure population consisting of two compartments known as immature prey and mature prey. The model incorporates the functional response Holling type-II. In this work, we investigate all the biologically feasible equilibrium points, and it is shown that the system has three equilibrium points. Sufficient conditions for the local stability of the non-negative equilibrium point of the model are also derived. All points are conditionally locally asymptotically stable. By constructing Jacobian matrix and determined eigenvalues, we analyzed the local stability of the trivial equilibrium and non-predator equilibrium points. Specifically for coexistence equilibrium point, Routh-Hurwitz criterion used to analyze local stability. In addtion, we investigated the effect of immature prey refuge. Our mathematical analysis exhibits that immature prey refuge have played a crucial role in the behavioral system. When the effect of immature prey refuge (constant m) increases, it is can stabilize non-predator equilibrium point, where all the species can not exists together. And conversely, if contant m decreases, it is can stabilize coexistence equilibrium point then all the species can exists together. The work is completed with a numerical simulation to confirmed analitical results

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the deterministic and stochastic prey-predator system with refuge. The basic local stability results for the deterministic model have been performed. It is found that all the equilibrium points except the positive coexisting equilibrium point of the deterministic model are independent of the prey refuge. The trivial equilibrium point, predator free equilibrium point and prey free equilibrium point are always unstable (saddle point). The existence and local stability of the coexisting equilibrium point is related to the prey refuge. The permanence and extinction conditions of the proposed biological model have been studied rigourously. It is observed that the stochastic effect may be seen in the form of decaying of the species. The numerical simulations for different values of the refuge values have also been included for understanding the behavior of the model graphically.

Disease in ecological systems plays an important role. In the present investigation we propose and analyze a predator–prey mathematical model in which both species are affected by infectious disease. The parasite is transmitted directly (by contact) within the prey population and indirectly (by consumption of infected prey) within the predator population. We derive biologically feasible and insightful quantities in terms of ecological as well as epidemiological reproduction numbers that allow us to describe the dynamics of the proposed system. Our observations indicate that predator–prey system is stable without disease but high infection rate drive the predator population toward extinction. We also observe that predation of vulnerable infected prey makes the disease to eradicate into the community composition of the model system. Local stability analysis of the interior equilibrium point near the disease-free equilibrium point is worked out. To study the global dynamics of the system, numerical simulations are performed. Our simulation results show that for higher values of the force of infection in the prey population the predator population goes to extinction. Our numerical analysis reveals that predation rates specially on susceptible prey population and recovery of infective predator play crucial role for preventing the extinction of the susceptible predator and disease propagation.

A two-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations is used to characterize the basic types of phase portraits of the immune system — tumor interactions model, and to study the impact of anti-immune activity by tumor on the outcome of immunotherapy. The focus is on specific (acquired) immunity and different forms of immunotherapy as active therapy with in vivo stimulation of the immunity and passive one with infusion of ex vivo produced specific immunity. The analysis is performed for two families of stimulation function, which describes the dynamics of the stimulation of the immune system by tumor antigens: (1) antigen dependent and (2) antigen per one immunity unit dependent functions, with Michaelis-Menten and sigmoid functions in each family. We show that there are no limit cycles in the system and that anti-immune activity by tumor changes all equilibrium points from global to local ones. In the latter case, the immune system has no control over the growth of large tumors. Furthermore, if the immunity is weak, the immune system cannot eradicate even small tumors. The weak immunity and stimulation strength result in unrestricted tumor growth. The patterns of asymptotic behavior of the system do not depend on the type of the stimulation function, but do depend on its parameters. Our results reflect the basic clinical and experimental knowledge about immunotherapy and its effectiveness and yield new suggestions for an efficient immunotherapy.
