[Method] The ef- fective constituents of live natural foods, including chironomid larvae, earthworm, mussels, winkles, were separated by using soaking solution extraction and centrifu- gal extraction. The extracted live foods were used to attract the carp, young cru- cian, and fishes of 100-150 days old and over 1 year old, respectively. The feed nutrition formulation of the added food attractants was designed and applied to feed- ing in the aquaculture farm. The test results were practised in bait study to conduct field fishing test and collect the data. [Results] Compared with the control group, feeding with live foods had significantly improved the growth rates of fishes at dif- ferent ages, and greatly reduced food coefficients. [Conclusion] The feeds made from live food addictives had excellent attraction ability, which not only reduced the negative effects on natural environment but also made the aquaculture mode more organic and greener.展开更多

We assume that the disease can only spread over prey population. As a result prey population has been classified into two categories, namely susceptible prey, infected prey where as the predator population remains free from infection. To investigate the behaviour of prey population we incorporate prey refuge in this model. Since the prey refuge decreases the predation rate then it has an important effect in our predator-prey interaction model. We have discussed the existence of various equilibrium points and local stability analysis at those equilibrium points. We investigate the Hopf-bifurcation analysis about the interior equilibrium point by taking the rate of infection parameter and the prey refuge parameter as bifurcation parameters. The numerical analysis is carried out to support the analytical results and to discuss some interesting results that our model exhibits.展开更多

First, we briefly give the dynamic of the deterministic system, by analyzing stabilities of its four equilibria. Then, we consider the asymptotic behavior of the stochastic system. By Lyapunov analysis methods, we show the stochastic stability and its long time behavior around the equi- librium of the deterministic system. We obtain there are similar properties between the stochastic system and its corresponding deterministic system, when white noise is small. But large white noise can make a unstable deterministic system to be stable.展开更多

We firstly introduce a sufficient condition for the permanence of the system and then use a specific set to obtain a weaker sufficient condition. Afterward, we provide corresponding conditions for the extinction of the system and the existence of boundary periodical solutions, respectively. ~rther, we get a sufficient condition for global attractiveness of the boundary periodic solution by constructing a Lyapunov function, arriving at the uniqueness of boundary periodic solutions since the uniqueness of boundary periodic solutions can be ensured by global attractiveness. Finally, based on the existence of positive periodic solutions, which can be ensured by the Brouwer fixed- point theorem, we provide a sufficient condition for the uniqueness of positive periodic solutions.展开更多

Independent harvesting efforts are applied in either species and asymmetrical intraguild predation occurs. A common resource is consumed by two competing species and at the same time predator also consumes the prey. At first we discuss the model under constant carrying capacity and make the conclusion that no limit cycle exists in this case. Then we discuss the model without intraspecific competition. Our main concern is to cover the above mentioned two cases together, i.e. the model with variable carrying capacity and intraspecific competition. We determine the steady states and examine the dynamical behavior. We also analyze the local and global stability of the interior equilibrium by Routh-Hurwitz criterion and a suitable Lyapunov function respectively. A Hopf bifur- cation occurs with respect to a parameter which is the ratio of predator's and prey's intrinsic growth rate. The possibility of bionomic equilibrium has been considered. The optimal harvest policy is formulated and solved with Pontryagin's maximum principle. Some numerical simulations are given to explain most of the analytical results.展开更多

This information was used to test several hypotheses regarding ultimate causes of sleeping site use in this primate. White-headed langurs slept either in caves (17 sites) or on a cliffledge (one site). They used all sleeping sites repeatedly, and reused some of them on consecutive nights; three nights was the longest consecutive use of any one sleep site. We suggest that langurs use sleeping sites to make approach and attack by predators difficult, and to increase their own familiarity with a location so as to improve chances for escape. Langurs' cryptic behaviors with an increased level of vigilance before entering sleeping sites may also help in decreasing the possibility of detection by predators. Group 1 spent more sleeping nights in the central area of their territory than expected; in contrast, group 2 spent more sleeping nights in the periphery of their territory, which overlaps with that of another groups, than expected. The position of sleeping site relative to the last feeding site of the day and the first feeding site of the subsequent morning indicated a strategy closer to that of a multiple central place forager than of a central place forager. These results suggest that territory defense and food access may play an important role in sleeping site use of white-headed langurs [Current Zoology 57 (3): 260-268, 2011].展开更多

By using the comparison theorem of the difference equation, some sufficient conditions are obtained for the permanence of the system with variable coefficients. At the same time, a set of sufficient conditions about permanent of the system with almost periodic coefficients is also set up, which utilizes almost periodic characteristics of the system.

By analyzing the characteristic functions, we obtain that the equilibria of the model are locally stable when some suitable conditions are being satisfied. According to the comparison theorem and iteration technique, the globally asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium is discussed. And, the sufficient conditions of the global stability to the trivial equilibrium and the boundary equilibrium are derived. The study shows that the prey refuge will enhance the density of the prey species, and it will decrease the density of predator species. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out to show the efficiency of our main results.展开更多

Here we use the reasonable catch-rate function instead of usual catch-per-unit-effort hypothesis. The existence, as well as the stability of possible equilibria, is carried out. Bionomic equilibrium of the system is determined and optimal harvest policy is studied with the help of Pontryagin's maximum principle. The key results developed in this paper are illustrated using numer- ical simulations. Our results indicate that dynamic behavior of the system very much depends on the prey refuge parameter and increasing amount of refuge could increase prey density and may lead to the extinction of predator population density.展开更多
