Biological mechanisms of coexistence for a family of age structured population models

作者:

Highlights:

• We construct a family of predator–prey models with age structure in both species.

• We introduce biological mechanisms in the models to achieve coexistence.

• Factors of intraspecific competition, selective predation and cannibalism among predators are included.

• Numerical and analytical parametric studies of the models are carried out.
