AbstractA field experiment on terrestrial vertebrates observes that direct predation on predator–prey interaction can not only affect the population dynamics but the indirect effect of predator’s fear (felt by prey) through chemical and/or vocal cues may also reduce the reproduction of prey and change their life history. In this work, we have described a predator–prey model with Holling type II functional response incorporating prey refuge. Irrespective of being considering either a constant number of prey being refuged or a proportion of the prey population being refuged, a different growth rate and different carrying capacity for the prey population in the refuge area are considered. The total prey population is divided into two subclasses: (i) prey x in the refuge area and (ii) prey y in the predatory area. We have taken the migration of the prey population from refuge area to predatory area. Also, we have considered a benefit from the antipredation response of the prey population y in presence of cost of fear. Feasible equilibrium points of the proposed system are derived, and the dynamical behavior of the system around equilibria is investigated. Birth rate of prey in predatory region has been regarded as bifurcation parameter to examine the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation in the neighborhood of the interior equilibrium point. Moreover, the conditions for occurrence of transcritical bifurcations have been determined. Further, we have incorporated discrete-type gestational delay on the system to make it more realistic. The dynamical behavior of the delayed system is analyzed. Finally, some numerical simulations are given to verify the analytical results.

The effect of refuge used by prey has a stabilizing impact on population dynamics and the effect of time delay has its destabilizing influences. Little attention has been paid to the combined effects of prey refuge and time delay on the dynamic consequences of the predator-prey interaction. Here, a predator-prey model with a class of functional responses was studied by using the analytical approach. The refuge is considered as protecting a constant proportion of prey and the discrete time delay is the gestation period. We evaluated both effects with regard to the local stability of the interior equilibrium point of the considered model. The results showed that the effect of prey refuge has stronger influences than that of time delay on the considered model when the time lag is smaller than the threshold. However, if the time lag is larger than the threshold, the effect of time delay has stronger influences than that of refuge used by prey.

Predation is interaction between predator and prey, where predator preys prey. So predators can grow, develop, and reproduce. In order for prey to avoid predators, then prey needs a refuge. In this thesis, a predator-prey model with refuge factor using Holling type III response function which has three populations, i.e. prey population in the refuge, prey population outside the refuge, and predator population. From the model, three equilibrium points were obtained, those are extinction of the three populations which is unstable, while extinction of predator population and coexistence are asymptotic stable under certain conditions. The numerical simulation results show that refuge have an impact the survival of the prey.

In this paper, we study the dynamic of the predator–prey model based on mutual interference and its effects on searching efficiency. The parametric conditions, existence, and stability for trivial and boundary equilibrium points are studied. Also, it has shown that by applying the center manifold theorem and bifurcation theory, system undergoes Neimark–Sacker bifurcation across the neighborhood of a positive fixed point. Moreover, due to the bifurcation and chaos which objectively exist in a system, three chaos control strategies are designed and used. Moreover, to validate our theoretical and analytical discussions, numerical simulations are applied to show complex and chaotic behavior. Finally, theoretical discussions are validated with experimental field data.

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.

Here, we have proposed a predator–prey model with Michaelis–Menten functional response and divided the prey population in two subpopulations: susceptible and infected prey. Refuge has been incorporated in infected preys, i.e. not the whole but only a fraction of the infected is available to the predator for consumption. Moreover, multiplicative Allee effect has been introduced only in susceptible population to make our model more realistic to environment. Boundedness and positivity have been checked to ensure that the eco-epidemiological model is well-behaved. Stability has been analyzed for all the equilibrium points. Routh–Hurwitz criterion provides the conditions for local stability while on the other hand, Bendixson–Dulac theorem and Lyapunov LaSalle theorem guarantee the global stability of the equilibrium points. Also, the analytical results have been verified numerically by using MATLAB. We have obtained the conditions for the existence of limit cycle in the system through Hopf Bifurcation theorem making the refuge parameter as the bifurcating parameter. In addition, the existence of transcritical bifurcations and saddle-node bifurcation have also been observed by making different parameters as bifurcating parameters around the critical points.

We analyze a mathematical model of predator–prey interaction where the prey population is infected with a viral disease. Infection in the prey population is assumed to follow standard incidence. The dynamical behavior of the system is studied in terms of stability aspects. To model the gestation lag of the predator species and the spatially heterogeneous characteristics of an ecological population, we incorporate the concept of diffusionally coupled delay into the system. The bifurcation behavior of the delayed homogeneous system is studied. The existence of traveling wave solutions for the delay–diffusion model is established. Numerical simulations are performed to justify analytical findings.

AbstractIn this research, we discuss the influence of an infectious disease in the evolution of ecological species. A computational predator-prey model of fractional order is considered. Also, we assume that there is a non-fatal infectious disease developed in the prey population. Indeed, it is considered that the predators have a cooperative hunting. This situation occurs when a pair or group of animals coordinate their activities as part of their hunting behavior in order to improve their chances of making a kill and feeding. In this model, we then shift the role of standard derivatives to fractional-order derivatives to take advantage of the valuable benefits of this class of derivatives. Moreover, the stability of equilibrium points is studied. The influence of this infection measured by the transmission rate on the evolution of predator-prey interaction is determined. Many scenarios are obtained, which implies the richness of the suggested model and the importance of this study. The graphical representation of the mathematical results is provided through a precise numerical scheme. This technique enables us to approximate other related models including fractional-derivative operators with high accuracy and efficiency.

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.

We consider a model of predator-prey interaction at fractional-order where the predation obeys the ratio-dependent functional response and the prey is linearly harvested. For the proposed model, we show the existence, uniqueness, non-negativity as well as the boundedness of the solutions. Conditions for the existence of all possible equilibrium points and their stability criteria, both locally and globally, are also investigated. The local stability conditions are derived using the Magtinon's theorem, while the global stability is proven by formulating an appropriate Lyapunov function. The occurance of Hopf bifurcation around the interior point is also shown analytically. At the end, we implement the Predictor-Corrector scheme to perform some numerical simulations.

A field observation on a terrestrial vertebrate has shown that the fear of predators can affect the behavior of prey populations and it can greatly reduce their reproduction. On the other hand, it has been observed that providing additional food to the predator decreases the predatory attack rate and increases the growth rate of the predator. In this paper, we have investigated the dynamical behavior of a predator–prey model incorporating both the effects of fear and additional food. Positivity, uniform boundedness and extinction criteria of the system are studied. Equilibrium points and their stability behaviors are also discussed here. Existence of a Hopf-bifurcation is established by considering the level of fear as bifurcation parameter. The effect of time-delay is discussed, where the delay may be considered as gestation time of the predator. Numerical simulations are performed using MATLAB to verify our analytical findings.
