Dynamics of the predator-prey models on the two-patch fragmented habitat with dispersal

[[abstract]]In this work, we consider the population-dispersal dynamics for predator-prey interactions in a two-patch environment. On each fragmented patch, there is a two-species predator-prey ecological system. It is assumed that the predator species are mobile. The existence and local dynamics of boundary equilibria and interior equilibria with respect to parameters are completely classified. Moreover, global extinction results are established analytically. In particular, the phenomenon of over-exploitation is also found in these discrete patches models. Finally, some biological interpretations are discussed.[[notice]]補正完

Global dynamics of three species omnivory models with Lotka-Volterra interaction

[[abstract]]In this work, we consider the community of three species food web model with Lotka-Volterra type predator-prey interaction. In the absence of other species, each species follows the traditional logistical growth model and the top predator is an omnivore which is defined as feeding on the other two species. It can be seen as a model with one basal resource and two generalist predators, and pairwise interactions of all species are predator-prey type. It is well known that the omnivory module blends the attributes of several well-studied community modules, such as food chains (food chain models), exploitative competition (two predators-one prey models), and apparent competition (one predator-two preys models). With a mild biological restriction, we completely classify all parameters. All local dynamics and most parts of global dynamics are established corresponding to the classification. Moreover, the whole system is uniformly persistent when the unique coexistence appears. Finally, we conclude by discussing the strategy of inferior species to survive and the mechanism of uniform persistence for the three species ecosystem.[[notice]]補正完
