The controversy over whether wolves (Canis lupus) can regulate ungulate numbers is difficult to assess, owing to data limitations, relaxation of predator control, and the fact that current predator – prey theory was developed from the study of invertebrate populations. A ratio-dependent predator – prey model appears to be supported by data on predation on ungulates, and the data indicate that wolves have a significant impact on numbers of moose (Alces alces), and thus can exert a regulatory effect on that species.

This study focuses on the spatial-temporal dynamics of predator–prey model with cross-diffusion where the intake rate of prey is per capita predator according to ratio-dependent functional response and the prey is harvested through nonlinear harvesting strategy. The permanence analysis and local stability analysis of the proposed model without cross-diffusion are analyzed. We derive the conditions for the appearance of diffusion-driven instability and global stability of the considered model. Also the parameter space for Turing region is specified by keeping the cross-diffusion coefficient as one of the crucial parameters. Numerical simulations are given to justify the proposed theoretical results and to show that the cross-diffusion term plays a significant role in the pattern formation.

In this paper, we study a ratio-dependent predator-prey model with modied Holling-Tanner formalism, by using dynamical techniques and numerical continuation algorithms implemented in Matcont. We determine codim-1 and 2 bifurcation points and their corresponding normal form coecients. We also compute a curve of limit cycles of the system emanating from a Hopf point.
