SPATIOTEMPORAL DYNAMICAL ANALYSIS OF A PREDATOR–PREY SYSTEM WITH FEAR AND GROUP DEFENSE IN PREY

This paper considers a diffusive prey–predator system with fear and group defense in the prey population. Also, we consider that the mortality of predators is linear and quadratic. By using local stability analysis, we get the prerequisite of Turing instability. Using comprehensive numerical computations, we get non-Turing pattern formation in the system with linear death of predator. Turing patterns are obtained for the system with the quadratic death of the predator. The modeling technique of multiple scale analysis is used to determine amplitude equations near the Turing bifurcation origin for the model with the predator’s quadratic mortality rate. The amplitude equations stability leads to various Turing patterns such as spots, stripes, and mixed. The result focuses on changing the mortality rate linear to quadratic of a predator in the prey–predator system. The derived results support us in a more immeasurable understanding of prey–predator interaction dynamics in the actual world.
