Exploring the predator prey linkage in food chain system is the most familiar research work in population biology.Recently,some research experiments show that predator-prey interaction not only governed by direct hunt...
In this paper, we propose and analyze a three-species predator prey system in the presence of additional food for top predator. It is assumed that the middle predator is acting as a prey as well as a predator and the ...

Edaphic biota significantly affects several essential ecological functions such as C-storage, nutrient turnover, and productivity.However, it is not completely understood how belowground animal contribution to these f...
Identifying the factor causing species decline from a multitude of potential disturbances is essential for successful management. Invasive species are often drivers of decline, either through direct effects such as re...
We are interested in the coexistence of three species forming a tritrophic food chain model. Considering a linear grow for the lowest trophic species or prey, and a type III Holling functional response for the middle ...
Facultative associations are commonly encountered between ants and lycaenids, although the nature and patterns of associations are typically unclear. This study investigated a facultative symbiosis involving the lycae...
