Stability and Hopf Bifurcation Analysis for a Stage-Structured Predator-Prey Model with Discrete and Distributed Delays

We propose a three-dimensional stage-structured predatory-prey model with discrete and distributed delays. By use of a new variable, the original three-dimensional system transforms into an equivalent four-dimensional system. Firstly, we study the existence and local stability of positive equilibriu...
