the foraging behavior of a natural enemy is greatly affected by temperature. the influence ofdifferent constant temperatures on the functional response and prey consumption of the mated female ofneoseiulus barkeri hughes on nymphal stages of tetranychus urticae koch was evaluated. four ambienttemperatures (20, 25, 30 and 35 â± 1â°c) and six prey densities (2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 individuals) we...

A thermoplastically extruded snack was produced from different blends of corn grits and silver carp minced meat. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to study the effect of fish meat content and to optimize the feed composition. Fourteen treatments from central composite design considering minced fish content (0-3 kg) and corn (7-10 kg) were used as the independent variables. The expansi...

In this article, we derive and analyze a novel predator–prey model with account for maturation delay in predators, ratio dependence, Holling type III functional response. The analysis of the system’s steady states reveals conditions on predation rate, predator growth time that can result prey-only equilibrium or facilitate simultaneous survival prey predators form stable coexistence state, sust...

Under the influence of human population distribution, the boyciana-fish ecological system is considered. First, the system can be described as a nonlinear partial differential algebraic equations system (PDAEs) with Neumann boundary conditions and ratio-dependent functional response. Second, we examine the system's persistence properties: the loacl stabilities of positive steady states, the abs...

In this paper, effect of alternative resource for top predator in food chain model with holling type III functional response is seen . Proposed model is demonstrated in respect of analytical as well numerical results. Bifurcation study with the variation of alternative resource and half saturation constants are done numerically. Simulation results shows that suitable alternati...

We investigate a nonautonomous ratio-dependent predator-prey model with BeddingtonDeAngelis functional response and multiple harvesting or exploited terms on time scales. By means of using a continuation theorem based on coincidence degree theory, we obtain sufficient criteria for the existence of at least two periodic solutions for the system. Moreover, when the time scale T is chosen as R or ...

Abstract: In this paper, a delayed ratio-dependent eco-epidemiological model with Holling type III functional response and two time delays is investigated.By regarding the delay as the bifurcation parameter, local stability of each equilibrium is discussed at the endemic equilibrium. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the conditions for existence of Hopf bifurcation for th...
