By analyzing the characteristic equation, we discuss the local stability of the positive constant solutions and show the repulsive prey-taxis is the key factor that destabilizes the solutions. By means of the abstract bifurcation theorem, we investigate the existence of non-constant positive steady-state solutions bifurcating from the constant coexistence equilibrium. Furthermore, we obtain the criterion for the stability of the branching solutions near the bifurcation point. Numerical simulations support our theoretical results, together with some interesting phenomena, stable heterogeneous periodic solutions emerge when prey-tactic sensitivity coefficient is well below the critical value, and zooplankton populations present extinction and continued transitions as habitat size increases.","PeriodicalId":49273,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biomathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139614460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

COVID-19 interventions in Turkey are incorporated into the model to detect the future trend of the outbreak accurately. We tested the effect of underreporting and we found that the peaks of the disease differ significantly depending on the rate of underreporting, however, the timing of the peaks remains constant.
