Abstract A certain class of a host–parasitoid models, where some host are completely free from parasitism within a spatial refuge is studied. In this paper, we assume that a constant portion of host population may find a refuge and be safe from attack by parasitoids. We investigate the effect of the presence of refuge on the local stability and bifurcation of models. We give the reduction to the normal form and computation of the coefficients of the Neimark–Sacker bifurcation and the asymptotic approximation of the invariant curve. Then we apply theory to the three well-known host–parasitoid models, but now with refuge effect. In one of these models Chenciner bifurcation occurs. By using package Mathematica, we plot bifurcation diagrams, trajectories and the regions of stability and instability for each of these models.
Here we examine the behavior of a rational Lotka - Volterra model which is a modification of the ordinary polynomial case. We find nonnegative equilibrium points and define conditions in the parametric space for the stable positive equilibrium point. We also prove existence of the stable limit cycle in the case of the unstable positive equilibrium point.
