Turing patterns in a predator-prey model with seasonality (Q1731932): Difference between revisions

The authors study a reaction-diffusion system with impulsive terms which models predator-prey interactions in two stages: ``growing season'' and ``dormant season''. They show that pattern formation is possible with a Beddington-DeAngelis functional response in that model. Moreover, they find that a low overwinter survival probability for the resource enhances the propensity for pattern formation: diffusion-driven instability occurs even when the diffusion rates of prey and predator are comparable but not equal.
