Dynamic behaviors of a stage structure amensalism system with a cover for the first species
Abstract In this paper, we propose and study a two-species stage structured amensalism model with a cover for the first species. By developing a new analysis technique or, more precisely, by combining the differential inequality theory and the Lyapunov function method, we obtain sufficient condition...

description | Abstract In this paper, we propose and study a two-species stage structured amensalism model with a cover for the first species. By developing a new analysis technique or, more precisely, by combining the differential inequality theory and the Lyapunov function method, we obtain sufficient conditions ensuring the global attractivity of positive and boundary equilibria, respectively. Our study shows that the final density of the first species is an increasing function of the partial cover, and if the stage structured species is globally asymptotically stable, then there exists a threshold such that if the cover is greater than this threshold, the species can still exist in the long run, whereas if the cover is too small, then the first species is driven to extinction. |
