Abstract:To study the interaction of parasitoids and their insect hosts in laboratory environment, we propose a mathematical model incorporating impulsive resource inputs, stage-structure, maturation times and negative binomial distribution of parasitoid attacks. According to the adaptability of the insect host to the environment, we obtain conditions under which the system is uniformly permanent in two cases, which guarantee that the host and its parasitoid can coexist. By applying fixed point theory, we show existenc… Show more
