In this article, we propose the Holling type-II predator-prey model involving cannibalism and gestation delay in predators. We study the existence of all possible equilibrium points of the proposed model. We give the condition for the local stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis for the nondelayed model. Next, we also establish the local stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis for the corresponding delayed model. Finally, we discuss how cannibalism and delay play an important role in stabilizing and destabilizing the proposed system both theoretically and numerically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
