Predator prey models predict a broad range of results depending on characteristics of predators, prey and the environment in which they interact. The environment in which these species live in and interact is usually made up of many patches, and these patches are connected via migration. The instantaneous migration of these species from one patch to another may not be realistic since there may be barriers during migration such as a busy infrastructure through the natural habitat. A predator-prey model, with logistic growth for both species and constant delayed migration, is developed and analyzed in this paper. It is shown that these species will survive if they migrate at higher rates in search of sustaining resources. Thus, for the species to coexist, we recommend that factors that slow down migration rates should be addressed, for example, reducing human activities and settlement in natural habitat.

The Stability

Predator–prey models in ecology serve a variety of purposes, which range from illustrating a scientific concept to representing a complex natural phenomenon. Due to the complexity and variability of the environment, the dynamic behavior obtained from existing predator–prey models often deviates from reality. Many factors remain to be considered, such as external forcing, harvesting and so on. In this chapter, we study a spatial version of the Ivlev-type predator-prey model that includes reaction-diffusion, external periodic forcing, and constant harvesting rate on prey. Using this model, we study how external periodic forcing affects the stability of predator-prey coexistence equilibrium. The results of spatial pattern analysis of the Ivlev-type predator-prey model with zero-flux boundary conditions, based on the Euler method and via numerical simulations in MATLAB, show that the model generates rich dynamics. Our results reveal that modeling by reaction-diffusion equations with external periodic forcing and nonzero constant prey harvesting could be used to make general predictions regarding predator-prey equilibrium,which may be used to guide management practice, and to provide a basis for the development of statistical tools and testable hypotheses.

Theoretical Results

We study two discrete predator-prey models in patchy environment, one without dispersal corridors and one with dispersal corridors. Dispersal corridors are passes that allow the migration of species from one patch to another and their existence may influence the permanence of the model. We will offer sufficient conditions to guarantee the permanence of the two predator-prey models. By comparing the two permanence criteria, we discuss the effects of dispersal corridors on the permanence of the predator-prey model. It is found that the dispersion of the prey from one patch to another is helpful to the permanence of the prey if the population growth of the prey is density dependent; however, this dispersion of the prey could be disadvantageous or advantageous to the permanence of the predator. Five numerical examples are presented to confirm the theoretical results obtained and to illustrate the effects of dispersal corridors on the permanence of the predator-prey model.

Theoretical Results

AbstractIn this paper, a hybrid predator–prey model with two general functional responses under seasonal succession is proposed. The model is composed of two subsystems: in the first one, the prey follows the Gompertz growth, and it turns to the logistic growth in the second subsystem since seasonal succession. The two processes are connected by impulsive perturbations. Some very general, weak criteria on the ultimate boundedness, permanence, existence, uniqueness and global attractivity of predator-free periodic solution are established. We find that the hybrid population model with seasonal succession has more survival possibilities of natural species than the usual population models. The theoretical results are illustrated by special examples and numerical simulations.

Predator Prey Models

An almost periodic predator-prey model with intermittent predation and prey discontinuous dispersal is studied in this paper, which differs from the classical continuous and impulsive dispersal predator-prey models. The intermittent predation behavior of the predator species only happens in the channels between two patches where the discontinuous migration movement of the prey species occurs. Using analytic approaches and comparison theorems of the impulsive differential equations, sufficient criteria on the boundedness, permanence, and coexistence for this system are established. Finally, numerical simulations demonstrate that, for an intermittent predator-prey model, both the intermittent predation and intrinsic growth rates of the prey and predator species can greatly impact the permanence, extinction, and coexistence of the population.

Predator Prey Models

Besides being structurally unstable, the Lotka–Volterra predator-prey model has another shortcoming due to the invalidity of the principle of mass action when the populations are very small. This leads to extremely large populations recovering from unrealistically small ones. The effects of linear modifications to structurally unstable continuous-time predator-prey models in a (small) neighbourhood of the origin are investigated here. In particular, it is shown that typically either a global attractor or repeller arises depending on the choice of coefficients.The analysis is based on Poincaré mappings, which allow an explicit representation for the classical Lotka–Volterra equations.

Consumer Resource

This chapter introduces the concept of the consumer-resource link, the idea that each species in a community consumes resources and is itself consumed by other species. The consumer–resource link is the fundamental building block from which more-complex food chains and food webs are constructed. The chapter continues by exploring what is arguably the simplest consumer–resource interaction—one predator species feeding on one species of prey. Important topics discussed in the context of predator–prey interactions are the predator’s functional response, the Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model, the Rosenzweig–MacArthur predator–prey model, and the suppression-stability trade-off. Isocline analysis is introduced as a method for visualizing the outcome of species interactions at steady-state or equilibrium. Herbivory and parasitism are briefly discussed within the context of general predator–prey models.

Limiting Case

To understand the heterogeneous spatial effect on predator–prey models, we study the behaviour of the positive steady states of a predator–prey model as certain parameters are small or large. We compare the case when the model has a spatial degeneracy with the case when it does not have such a degeneracy. Our results show that the effect of the degeneracy can be clearly observed in one limiting case, but not in the others.

Ratio-dependent predator–prey models are favored by many animal ecologists recently as more suitable ones for predator–prey interactions where predation involves searching process. In this paper, a ratio-dependent predator–prey model with stage structure and time delay for prey is proposed and analyzed. In this model, we only consider the stage structure of immature and mature prey species and not consider the stage structure of predator species. We assume that the predator only feed on the mature prey and the time for prey from birth to maturity represented by a constant time delay. At first, we investigate the permanence and existence of the proposed model and sufficient conditions are derived. Then the global stability of the nonnegative equilibria are derived. We also get the sufficient criteria for stability switch of the positive equilibrium. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out for supporting the analytic results.

A predator-prey model with Ivlev-Type functional response is studied. The main purpose is to investigate the global stability of a positive (co-existence) equilibrium, whenever it exists. A recently developed approach shows that for certain classes of models, there is an implicitly defined function which plays an important rule in determining the global stability of the positive equilibrium. By performing a detailed analytic analysis we demonstrate that a crucial property of this implicitly defined function is governed by the local stability of the positive equilibrium, which enable us to show that the global and local stability of the positive equilibrium, whenever it exists, is equivalent. We believe that our approach can be extended to study the global stability of the positive equilibrium for predator-prey models with some other types of functional responses.
