The present paper deals with the problem of a predator-prey model incorporating a prey refuge with disease in the prey-population. We assume the predator population will prefer only infected population for their diet as those are more vulnerable. Dynamical behaviours such as boundedness, permanence, local and global stabilities are addressed. We have also studied the effect of discrete time delay on the model. The length of delay preserving the stability is also estimated. Computer simulations are carried out to illustrate our analytical findings.

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.

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.

This paper aims to study the dynamical behaviors of a predator–prey system where the predator is affected by a microparasite infection. The effect of discrete time-delay is investigated. It has been shown that the time-delay can induce instability and oscillations via Hopf bifurcation. Also delay of suitable range may keep the populations at a desired level. Computer simulations are carried out to illustrate our analytical findings. The biological implications of our analytical and numerical findings are discussed critically.

Recently ratio-dependent predator-prey models have become the focus of considerable attention in theoretical ecology in their own right. In this paper, we have studied the deterministic and stochastic dynamical aspects of stability of a MichaelisMenten type ratio-dependent predator-prey system that includes discrete time-delay. Computer simulations are carried out to explain the analytical findings in deterministic environment. The biological implications of our analytical and numerical findings are discussed critically.

Abstract In this paper, we consider a Beddington-DeAngelis predator-prey system with stage structure for predator and time delay incorporating prey refuge. By analyzing the characteristic equations, we study the local stability of the equilibrium of the system. Using the delay as a bifurcation parameter, the model undergoes a Hopf bifurcation at the coexistence equilibrium when the delay crosses some critical values. After that, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, sufficient conditions are derived for the global stability of the system. Finally, the influence of prey refuge on densities of prey species and predator species is discussed.

We consider the effect of time delay and cross diffusion on the dynamics of a modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey model incorporating a prey refuge. Based on the stability analysis, we demonstrate that delayed feedback may generate Hopf and Turing instability under some conditions, resulting in spatial patterns. One of the most interesting findings is that the model exhibits complex pattern replication: the model dynamics exhibits a delay and diffusion controlled formation growth not only to spots, stripes, and holes, but also to spiral pattern self-replication. The results indicate that time delay and cross diffusion play important roles in pattern formation.

This paper is concerned with a delayed predator–prey model with nonconstant death rate and constant-rate prey harvesting. We mainly study the impact of the time delay on the stability of positive constant solution of delayed differential equations and positive constant equilibrium of delayed diffusive differential equations, respectively. By choosing time delay [Formula: see text] as a bifurcation parameter, we show that Hopf bifurcation can occur as the time delay passes some critical values. In addition, the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions are determined by using the normal form theory and center manifold theorem. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out to depict our theoretical results.

We investigate the effects of time delay and piecewise-linear threshold policy harvesting for a delayed predator–prey model. It is the first time that Holling response function of type III and the present threshold policy harvesting are associated with time delay. The trajectories of our delayed system are bounded; the stability of each equilibrium is analyzed with and without delay; there are local bifurcations as saddle-node bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation; optimal harvesting is also investigated. Numerical simulations are provided in order to illustrate each result.

To increase a prey population that is attacked by a predator it is more convenient and economical to choose the living organisms to control the predator. In this paper, the dynamical behaviors of a prey–predator model with microparasitic infection in the predator have been discussed. In this epidemiological model the microparasite is horizontally transmitted and attacks the predator population only. The infected population does not recover or become immune. The dynamical characteristics of the system are studied through mathematical analyses. The role of discrete time-delay has been discussed to show that time-delay can induce instability and oscillation. Numerical simulations are carried out. Biological implications have been discussed.
