Abstract:
      In this paper, we study a host-parasitoid model with Holling II Functional response, where we focus on a special case: the carrying capacity K2 for parasitoids is equal to a critical value r 1η. It is shown that the model can undergo Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation. The approximate expressions for saddle-node, Homoclinic and Hopf bifurcation curves are calculated. Numerical simulations, including bifurcation diagrams and corresponding phase portraits, are also given to illustrate the theoretical results.
