Abstract

By hibernating, animals can reduce their energy requirements by at least ninety percent and survive for many months while slowly catabolizing body lipid reserves. Hibernation constitutes an effective strategy of animals in order to survive cold environments and limited availability of food. In this work, we investigate a periodic impulsive switched predator-prey system with hibernation and birth pulse. We firstly obtain the conditions of the globally asymptotically stable prey-extinction boundary periodic solution of the investigated system. Secondly, we obtain the permanent conditions of the investigated system. Finally, numerical analysis is presented to illustrate the results. Our results provide reliable tactic basis for the practical biological economics management.

Highlights

  • Hibernation allows small mammals to minimize metabolic energy costs at a time when a scarcity of food and cold environmental temperatures endanger normal life

  • Hibernation constitutes an effective strategy of animals in order to survive cold environments and limited availability of food [ ]

  • The optimal management of renewable resources, which has a direct relationship to sustainable development, has been studied extensively by many authors [ – ]

Summary

Introduction

Hibernation allows small mammals to minimize metabolic energy costs at a time when a scarcity of food and cold environmental temperatures endanger normal life. Jiao et al [ ] considered a three-dimensional predator-prey model with impulsive diffusion and harvesting on predator as follows: We introduce the phenomenon of hibernation and focus on a periodic impulsive switched predator-prey system with hibernation and birth pulse.
