This paper reports an investigation of the emergence of a ratio-dependent predator-prey system with Hassell-Varley-type functional response and reaction diffusion. The instability of the uniform equilibrium of the model is discussed. The conditions for Hopf and Turing bifurcation are obtained in a spatial domain. Furthermore, spatial pattern formation is illustrated by means of numerical simulation, which shows that different parameters lead to different patterns. The result can be expected to have far-reaching influence on real bionomics and may help us to understand better the dynamics of ecosystems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
