In this paper, we investigate a class of delay Nicholson's blowflies model with a linear harvesting term, new criteria for the existence and convergence dynamics of positive pseudo almost periodic solutions are established by using the fixed point method and the properties of pseudo almost periodic function, together with constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals. The obtained results extend previously known results, and they also partially answer an open problem proposed by L. Berezansky et al. Finally, an example with simulation is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of theoretical results. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
