Abstract: |
In this paper, spatial dynamics of a diffusive predator-prey model
with Leslie-Gower functional response and strong Allee effect is studied. Firstly,
we obtain the critical condition of Hopf bifurcation and Turing bifurcation of
the PDE model. Secondly, taking self-diffusion coefficient of the prey as bi-
furcation parameter, the amplitude equations are derived by using multi-scale
analysis methods. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to verify
our theoretical results. The simulations show that with the decrease of self-
diffusion coefficient of the prey, the preys present three pattern structures:
spot pattern, mixed pattern, and stripe pattern. We also observe the transi-
tion from spot patterns to stripe patterns of the prey by changing the intrinsic
growth rate of the predator. Our results reveal that both diffusion and the
intrinsic growth rate play important roles in the spatial distribution of species. |
