Abstract

We investigate four predator–prey Rosenzweig–MacArthur models in which the prey exhibit herd behaviour and only the individuals on the edge of the herd are subjected to the predators’ attacks. The key concept is the herding index, i.e., the parameter defining the characteristic shape of the herd. We derive the population equations from the individual state transitions using the mechanistic approach and time scale separation method. We consider one predator and one prey species, linear and hyperbolic responses and the occurrence of predators’ intraspecific competition. For all models, we study the equilibria and their stability and we give the bifurcation analysis. We use standard numerical methods and the software Xppaut to obtain the one-parameter and two-parameter bifurcation diagrams.
