In this paper we are interested in studying the combined effects of harvesting and time delay on the dynamics of the generalized Gause type predator-prey models. It is shown that in these models the time delay may cause a stable equilibrium to become unstable and even a switching of stabilities, on

✦ Synopsis
The stability of the fixed-points of general predator-prey models with Volterra-type distributed delays in the interspecies interaction terms is considered. For general functional forms of prey birth rate and predator death rate and the weak generic kernel or memory function aexp(-at). a supercritical Hopf bifurcation is shown to occur at a critical value au of the parameter a dependent on the system parameters, For four different models, parameter regimes for dissipativity (contraction of phase-space volume) and stable/unstable ranges of a are determined. The four models are integrated numerically, and chaotic regimes are characterized by computing power spectra. autocorrelation functions. and fractal dimensions.
