Dynamics of a stage-structured predator–prey model with prey impulsively diffusing between two patches

In this work, we propose a stage-structured predator–prey model, with prey impulsively diffusing between two patches. Using the discrete dynamical system determined by the stroboscopic map, we obtain a predator-extinction periodic solution. Further, the predator-extinction periodic solution is globally attractive. By the theory on the delay and impulsive differential equation, we prove that the investigated system is permanent. Our results indicate that the discrete time delay has influence to the dynamical behaviors of the investigated system.
