Repeated mass introductions of natural enemies have been widely used as a biological
control strategy in greenhouse systems when the resident population of natural enemies is …

Ecological theory predicts, and empirical research shows, that species sharing the same
trophic level as a target species (hereafter controphic species) can have large direct and …

Biological control is an efficient pest control method but there are still limitations that are
hindering its wider adoption. Genetic improvement of biological control agents (BCAs) can …

In this paper we analyze a variation of a standard predator–prey model with type II functional
response which represents predator–prey dynamics in the presence of some additional food …

The control and management of chaotic population is one of the main objectives for
constructing mathematical model in ecology today. In this paper, we apply a technique of …

Necessity to understand the role of additional food as a tool in biological control programs is
being increasingly felt, particularly due to its eco-friendly nature. A thorough mathematical …

Additional food for predators has been considered as one of the best established techniques
in integrated pest management and biological conservation programs. In natural systems …

In marine ecology, plankton systems have rich and complex dynamics. The control of chaos
in plankton systems is one of the main motives of recent research. In this article, the chaos …

Use of additional/alternative food source to predators is one of the widely recognised
practices in the field of biological control. Both theoretical and experimental works point out …

We examine the effects of supplying additional food to predator in a gestation delay induced
predator–prey system with habitat complexity. Additional food works in favor of predator …
