Complex dynamical study of a delayed prey-predator model with fear in prey and square root harvesting of both species.

In the current study, the dynamics of predator-prey systems under the influence of fear effect on the reproduction of prey population and harvesting on both species has been proposed. Assessing the dynamics of the system with the combined influence of fear and harvesting for various values of n is our central objective. We present comprehensive mathematical findings that cover fundamental dynamical features, the presence of positive equilibria, and the stability of all equilibria.

Complex dynamics and Bogdanov-Takens bifurcations in a retarded van der Pol-Duffing oscillator with positional delayed feedback.

In this article, we will investigate a retarded van der Pol-Duffing oscillator with multiple delays. At first, we will find conditions for which Bogdanov-Takens (B-T) bifurcation occurs around the trivial equilibrium of the proposed system. The center manifold theory has been used to extract second order normal form of the B-T bifurcation.

Dynamical behaviour of a two-predator model with prey refuge.

A three-component model consisting on one-prey and two-predator populations is considered with a Holling type II response function incorporating a constant proportion of prey refuge. We also consider the competition among predators for their food (prey) and shelter. The essential mathematical features of the model have been analyzed thoroughly in terms of stability and bifurcations arising in some selected situations.

Analysis of a competitive prey-predator system with a prey refuge.

Gauss's competitive exclusive principle states that two competing species having analogous environment cannot usually occupy the same space at a time but in order to exploit their common environment in a different manner, they can co-exist only when they are active in different times. On the other hand, several studies on predators in various natural and laboratory situations have shown that competitive coexistence can result from predation in a way by resisting any one prey species from becoming sufficiently abundant to outcompete other species such that the predator makes the coexistence possible. It has also been shown that the use of refuges by a fraction of the prey population exerts a stabilizing effect in the interacting population dynamics.

Global stability and persistence in LG-Holling type II diseased predator ecosystems.

A Leslie-Gower-Holling type II model is modified to introduce a contagious disease in the predator population, assuming that disease cannot propagate to the prey. All the system's equilibria are determined and the behaviour of the system near them is investigated. The main mathematical issues are global stability and bifurcations for some of the equilibria, together with sufficient conditions for persistence of the ecosystem.

Effect of delay in a Lotka-Volterra type predator-prey model with a transmissible disease in the predator species.

We consider a system of delay differential equations modeling the predator-prey ecoepidemic dynamics with a transmissible disease in the predator population. The time lag in the delay terms represents the predator gestation period. We analyze essential mathematical features of the proposed model such as local and global stability and in addition study the bifurcations arising in some selected situations.
