One may find out the application‎ ‎of mathematics in the areas of ecology‎, ‎biology‎, ‎environmental‎ ‎sciences etc‎. ‎Mathematics is particulary used in the problem of‎ ‎predator-prey known as lotka-Volterra predator-prey equations.‎ ‎Indeed‎, ‎differential equations is employed very much in many areas‎ ‎of other sciences‎. ‎However‎, ‎most of natural problems involve some‎ ‎unknown functions...

This paper introduces a spatially heterogeneous diffusive predator–prey model unifying the classical Lotka–Volterra and Holling–Tanner ones through prey saturation coefficient, \begin{document}$ m(x) $\end{document} , which is heterogenous it allowed to 'degenerate'. Thus, in some patches of territory species can interact according kinetics, while others effects play significant role on dynamic...

Although predators affect prey both via consumption and by changing prey migration behavior, the interplay between these two effects is rarely incorporated into spatial models of predator-prey dynamics and competition among prey. We develop a model where generalist predators have consumptive effects (i.e., altering the likelihood of local prey extinction) as well as nonconsumptive effects (alte...

Theories of the evolution of warning signals are typically expressed using analytic and computational models, most of which attribute aspects of predator psychology as the key factors facilitating the evolution of warning signals. Sherratt provides a novel and promising perspective with a model that considers the coevolution of predator and prey populations, showing how predators may develop a ...

In this work we present a predator-prey model that incorporates individual behavior of the predators. A classical Lotka-Volterra model with self-limiting prey describes the predator-prey interaction. Predator individuals can use two behavioral tactics to dispute a prey when they meet, the classical hawk and dove tactics. Each individual can use both tactics along its life. The predator behavior...

One predator-two prey community models are studied with an emphasis on individual variation in predator behavior. The predator behaves according to a well-known prey choice model. The behavioral model predicts that predators should always attack the primary prey (more profitable prey of the two), but only attack the alternative prey (less profitable prey of the two) when the density of the prim...

Ahmed [1], considered study of prey-predator model with predator in disease and harvesting. In this article, a ratio-dependent predator-prey model with disease in the prey population is formulated and analyzed. Assuming that prey populations suffered from epidemics and the predator population will prefer only infected population for their diet as those are more vulnerable. Dynamical behaviours ...

This paper describes an individual-based model for simulating the swarming behavior of prey in the presence of predators. Predators and prey are represented as agents that interact through radial force laws. The prey form swarms through attractive and repulsive forces. The predators interact with the prey through an anti-newtonian force, which is a nonconservative force that acts in the same di...

In a recent paper, Brodie and Brodie provide a very detailed description of advances and counter-measures among predator-prey communities with a poisonous prey that closely parallel an arms race in modern society. In this work, we provide a mathematical model and simulations that provide a theory as to how this might work. The model is built on a two-dimensional classical predator-prey model th...
