Local dynamics and coexistence of predator-prey model with directional dispersal of predator
This paper is concerned with the effect of directional dispersal of a predator on a predator-prey model. The prey is assumed to have traits making it undetectable to the predator and difficult to chase the prey directly. Directional dispersal of the predator is described when the predator has learned the high hunting efficiency in certain areas, thereby dispersing toward these areas instead of directly chasing the prey. We investigate the stability of the semi-trivial solution and the existence of a coexistence steady-state. Moreover, authors show that the predator that moves toward a high-predation area may make the predators survive under the condition the predators cannot survive when they disperse randomly. The results are obtained through eigenvalue analysis and fixed-point index theory. Finally, Authors present the numerical simulation and its biological interpretations based on the obtained results.
