Effect of hunting cooperation and fear in a food chain model with intraspecific competition

Abstract

Taking into account the significance of food chains in the environment, it demonstrates the interdependence of all living things and has economic implications for people. Hunting cooperation, fear, and intraspecific competition are all included in a food chain model that has been developed and researched. The study tries to comprehend how these elements affect the behavior of species along the food chain. We first examined the suggested model's solution properties before calculating every potential equilibrium point and examining the stability and bifurcation nearby. We have identified the factors that guarantee the global stability of the positive equilibrium point using the geometric approach. Additionally, the circumstances that would guarantee the continued existence of all living beings were computed. The theoretical findings were supported by numerical simulations, which also showed how altering parameter values affected the food chain's dynamic behavior.
