Abstract
The coexistence of plant-herbivore populations in an ecological system is a fundamental topic of research in mathematical ecology. Plant-herbivore interactions are often described by using discrete-time models in the case of non-overlapping generations: such generations have some specific time interval of life and their old generations are replaced by new generations after some regular interval of time. Keeping in mind the dynamical reliability of continuous-time models we presented two discrete-time plant-herbivore models. Mainly, by applying Euler's forward method a discrete-time plant-herbivore model is obtained from a continuous-time plant-herbivore model. In addition, a dynamically consistent discrete-time plant-herbivore model is obtained by applying a nonstandard difference scheme. Moreover, local stability is discussed and the existence of bifurcation about positive equilibrium is shown under some mathematical conditions. To control bifurcation and chaos, a modified hybrid technique is developed. Finally, to support our theocratical results and to show the dynamical reliability of the nonstandard difference scheme some numerical examples are provided.
