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.

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.

A discrete-time predator–prey system incorporating fear effect of the prey with the predator has other food resource is proposed in this paper. The trivial equilibrium and the predator free equilibrium are both unstable. A set of sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of prey free equilibrium and interior equilibrium are established by using iteration scheme and the comparison principle of difference equations. Our study shows that due to the fear of predation, the prey species will be driven to extinction while the predator species tends to be stable since it has other food resource, i.e., the prey free equilibrium may be globally stable under some suitable conditions. Numeric simulations are provided to illustrate the feasibility of the main results.

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.
