  • Abstract

In this paper, spatial dynamics of a diffusive predator-prey model with Leslie-Gower functional response and strong Allee effect is studied. Firstly, we obtain the critical condition of Hopf bifurcation and Turing bifurcation of the PDE model. Secondly, taking self-diffusion coefficient of the prey as bifurcation parameter, the amplitude equations are derived by using multi-scale analysis methods. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to verify our theoretical results. The simulations show that with the decrease of self-diffusion coefficient of the prey, the preys present three pattern structures: spot pattern, mixed pattern, and stripe pattern. We also observe the transition from spot patterns to stripe patterns of the prey by changing the intrinsic growth rate of the predator. Our results reveal that both diffusion and the intrinsic growth rate play important roles in the spatial distribution of species.
