Abstract

In this article, a prey-predator model has been proposed considering predator induced fear to prey species. Furthermore, it is considered that predator species suffers from cannibalism. It is observed that both the parameter associated with predator induced fear and cannibalism play a crucial role in controlling the stability of system dynamics. The predator induced fear factor acts as a stabilizing factor while predator cannibalism phenomenon affects the system dynamics in absence of fear through the occurrence of multiple local bifurcations; but in presence of fear factor this cannibalism act cannot influence system dynamics. On the other hand, it is noticed that predator's birth rate due to cannibalism plays as a stable factor in system dynamics for a suitable range of this parameter. Additionally, it is observed that there is an important relationship between the phenomenon fear and cannibalism. Both the phenomenon individually affects the population biomass in a significant way.
