Global dynamics of stochastic predator-prey model with mutual interference and prey defense (Q2318305): Difference between revisions

The purpose of this article is to study the stochastic predator-prey model with mutual intervention and various functional reactions such as Holling, where the prey is capable of releasing toxins as a form of protection against the predator. A model of two predator-prey species is formulated, with a common form of mutual intervention and the effect of the release of toxins. The model is subjected to stochastic forcing. The global existence of model solutions is shown; this result is displayed regardless of the relationship between predator attack speed and toxin release parameter. The model also investigates the extinction criterion, provided that the stochastic effect can cause both species to die out under certain conditions. When white Gaussian noise is added to the parameter of the growth rate of the prey population and to the mortality rate of predator populations, it is observed that the stochastic system retains the property of a deterministic system when the noise is sufficiently small. However, with a sufficiently large noise, the stochastic system can disappear, while the deterministic system is preserved. This result depends solely on the noise intensity of prey species and does not depend on the noise intensity of predator species. Both model systems are numerically simulated for different values of the parameters of mutual interference and the same values of noise intensity. Sufficient conditions for extinction are obtained for both populations.
