Abstract:
      A diffusive predator-prey system with Holling functional response is considered. Firstly, existence of positive equilibrium of this reaction diffusion model under Neumann boundary condition is obtained. Meanwhile, the existence conditions for Turing instability and Hopf bifurcations of a system with Holling \uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral2} functional response are established. Next, the existence of the hydra effect is demonstrated, when the system is undergoing non-homogeneous steady-state solutions. Finally, numerical simulations are illustrated to support our theory results.
