<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We propose and analyze the effects of a generalist predator-driven fear effect on a prey population by considering a modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey model. We assume that the prey population suffers from reduced fecundity due to the fear of predators. We investigate the predator-prey dynamics by incorporating linear, Holling type Ⅱ and Holling type Ⅲ foraging strategies of the generalist predator. As a control strategy, we have considered density-dependent harvesting of the organisms in the system. We show that the systems with linear and Holling type Ⅲ foraging exhibit transcritical bifurcation, whereas the system with Holling type Ⅱ foraging has a much more complex dynamics with transcritical, saddle-node, and Hopf bifurcations. It is observed that the prey population in the system with Holling type Ⅲ foraging of the predator gets severely affected by the predation-driven fear effect in comparison with the same with linear and Holling type Ⅱ foraging rates of the predator. Our model simulation results show that an increase in the harvesting rate of the predator is a viable strategy in recovering the prey population.</p>

In this work, the dynamical properties of a Leslie–Tanner predator–prey model are analyzed. A method is provided to find the regions in the parameter space where Bautin, Hopf and simultaneous supercritical Hopf bifurcations exist. A remarkable feature of the dynamics of the model is the existence of tristability. In fact, the system simultaneously presents three stable limit cycles. These results generalize some previous knowledge on the subject since both prey defense and a generalist predator are incorporated in our analysis.

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.

Generalist predators have several food sources and do not depend on one prey species to survive. There has been considerable attention paid by modellers to generalist predator-prey interactions in recent years. Erbach and collaborators in 2013 found a complex dynamics with bistability, limit-cycles and bifurcations in a generalist predator-prey system. In this paper we explore the spatio-temporal dynamics of a reaction-diffusion PDE model for the generalist predator-prey dynamics analyzed by Erbach and colleagues. In particular, we study the Turing and Turing-Hopf pattern formation with special attention to the regime of bistability exhibited by the local model. We derive the conditions for Turing instability and find the region of parameters for which Turing and/or Turing-Hopf instability are possible. By means of numerical simulations, we present the main types of patterns observed for parameters in the Turing domain. In the Turing-Hopf range of the parameters, we observed either stable patterns or homogeneous periodic distributions. Our findings reveal that movement can break the effect of hysteresis observed in the local dynamics, what can have important implication in pest management and species conservation.

In this paper, the modified Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with simplified Holling type IV functional response is discussed. It is assumed that the prey population is a dangerous population. The equilibrium point of the model and the stability of the coexistence equilibrium point are analyzed. The simulation results show that both prey and predator populations will not become extinct as time increases. When the prey population density increases, there is a decrease in the predatory population density because the dangerous prey population has a better ability to defend itself from predators when the number is large enough.

This paper deals with the study of the stability and the bifurcation analysis of a Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with Michaelis-Menten type predator harvesting. It is shown that the proposed model exhibits the bistability for certain parametric conditions. Dulac’s criterion has been adopted to obtain the sufficient conditions for the global stability of the model. Moreover, the model exhibits different kinds of bifurcations (e.g., the saddle-node bifurcation, the subcritical and supercritical Hopf bifurcations, Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation, and the homoclinic bifurcation) whenever the values of parameters of the model vary. The analytical findings and numerical simulations reveal far richer and complex dynamics in comparison to the models with no harvesting and with constant-yield predator harvesting.

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.

In this study, we consider a diffusive predator–prey model with multiple Allee effects induced by fear factors. We investigate the existence, boundedness and permanence of the solution of the system. We also discuss the existence and non-existence of non-constant solutions. We derive sufficient conditions for spatially homogeneous (non-homogenous) Hopf bifurcation and steady state bifurcation. Theoretical and numerical simulations show that strong Allee effect and fear effect have great effect on the dynamics of system.
