To determine optimal conditions for measurement of the clearance rate in feeding experiment of an intertidal bivalve Glauconome chinensis, effects of starvation, extent of mixing at subsampling, and initial prey concentration were assessed. Experiments were conducted separately for each condition with different treatments. Two-way ANOVAs showed that there were significant differences in clearance rates among different starvation periods (p<0.001), extents of mixing (p = 0.005), and prey concentrations (p < 0.001). Starvation for 1 or 2 days gave rise to 2 to 3-fold increase in the clearance rate. After starvation for 5 days, the clearance rate decreased seriously, implying loss of physiological status. It is suggested that animals should be fed during acclimation. The differences of the clearance rates between gentle and vigorous mixings were significant, but the differences were smaller than that among different incubation times. It was found that vigorous mixing is not necessary. The effect of initial prey concentration was great. However, optimal prey concentration could not be determined at any fixed value. Experiments with multiple concentrations of algal prey are recommended. Optimal incubation time for measurement of the clearance rate of G. chinensis was determined to be 2-4 hours.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the habitat of Luciola unmunsana to understand the status of land snails, which are the larvae prey, and to evaluate the effects of larval feeding preferences and prey size for the restoration of the L. unmunsana habitat as a basis for future restoration projects. The research methods included field surveys of the habitat and laboratory experiments on feeding preferences using three types of land snails (Allopeas clavulinum kyotoense, Euphaedusa fusaniana, Pupinella rufa) observed in the habitat. Field surveys of 13 L. unmunsana habitat sites revealed a total of 24 land snail species. The experimental results regarding the larvae prey were analyzed for statistical significance of feeding preferences using Chi-square tests and independent sample t-tests. Consequently, larvae showed the highest preference for A. c. kyotoense, with statistically significant differences in feeding preferences (p<0.05). Also, statistically significant differences were observed in the size between the land snails that were eaten as prey and those that were not eaten. This research can deepen the understanding of the feeding preferences of L. unmunsana larvae and provide practical guidelines for the effective conservation and restoration strategies of the firefly habitat.

In this paper, a nonautonomous predator-prey dispersion delay models with functional response is studied. By using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, the existence of a positive periodic solution for above models is established.

We propose a cubic differential system, which can be considered a generalization of the predator-prey models, studied by many authors recently (see [18, 20], for instance) The properties of the equilibrium points, the existences, nonexistence, the uniqueness conditions and the relative positions of the limit cycles are investigated. An example is used to show our theorems are easy to be used in applications.

Abstract. In this paper, we study a modified stochastic predator-prey system with general ratio-dependent functional response. We prove that the system has a unique positive solution for given positive initial value. Then we investigate the persistence and extinction of this stochastic system. At the end, we give some numerical simulations, which support our theoretical conclusions well.

The prey-predator system with a single cross-diffusion pressure is known to possess a local solution with the maximal existence time $T\;{\leq}\;{\infty}$. By obtaining the bounds of $W\array_2^1$-norms of the local solution independent of T we establish the global existence of the solution. And the long-time behaviors of the global solution are analyzed when the diffusion rates $d_1\;and\;d_2$ are sufficiently large.

With the help of the coincidence degree and the related continuation theorem, we explore the existence of at least two periodic solutions of a discrete time non-autonomous ratio-dependent predator-prey system with control. Some easily verifiable sufficient criteria are established for the existence of at least two positive periodic solutions.

This paper deals with a predator-prey model with Holling type III response function and cross-diffusion subject to the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We first give a priori estimates (positive upper and lower bounds) of positive steady states. Then the non-existence and existence results of non-constant positive steady states are given as the cross-diffusion coefficient is varied, which means that stationary patterns arise from cross-diffusion.

In this paper we formulate a predator-prey system in two patches in which the per capita migration rate of each species is influenced only by its own density, i.e. there is no response to the density of the other one. Numerical studies show that at a critical value of the bifurcation parameter the system undergoes a Turing bifurcation, i. e. the stable constant steady state loses its stability and spatially non-constant stationary solutions, a pattern emerge.

The paper deals with the problem of selective harvesting in a prey-predator model with predator self limitation. Criteria for local stability and global stability for both the exploited and unexploited system are derived. The effort has been considered as a dynamic variable and taxation as a control instrument to protect the fish populations from over exploitation. Finally, the optimal taxation policy is discussed with the help of control theory.
