Abstract

This paper aims to study the prey refuge impact on the dynamic behaviour of a stage structure predator-prey model. The model consists of four ecological species: prey in the protected and unprotected area and immature and mature predators. It assumes the grown predator can feeds only on the prey in an unreserved area. The conditions that guarantee the existence of the possible fixed points are found. Further, the local stability around all of the equilibria is considered. Then, using the Lyapunov direct method, the essential conditions for the global stability of the equilibria are adopted. Numerical simulations are illustrated to confirm our results. It concluded that the protected area positively affects the system's co-existence.
