A predator–prey system with stage-structure for predator and nonlocal delay Original Research Article

This paper deals with the behavior of solutions to the reaction–diffusion system under homogeneous Neumann boundary condition, which describes a prey–predator model with nonlocal delay. Sufficient conditions for the global stability of each equilibrium are derived by the Lyapunov functional and the results show that the introduction of stage-structure into predator positively affects the coexistence of prey and predator. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the results.
