| Abstract: |
| In an ecosystem one can expect predation rates to be higher in regions where prey density is higher. This leads to non-random foraging. External signals tend to effect an animal`s movement, one being taxis. Motivated by various biological examples, we introduce the notions of direct and indirect taxis, then focus on analyzing a specific predator-prey model involving both types to taxis mechanisms. This includes global existence, positivity, stationary bifurcation, and stability of bifurcating solutions. We also present some simulation results. |
