Global dynamics of a stochastic reaction-diffusion predator-prey system with space-time white noise

This paper proposes a stochastic reaction-diffusion predator-prey system with fear under the interference of space-time white noise by using the related theories of stochastic partial differential equations. The motivation of this paper is twofold: (i) mathematically, to try to investigate the effects of environmental noise and diffusion on population dynamics; (ii) biologically, to study how environmental noise affects the permanence of species. First, we analyse the well-posedness of solutions. Then sufficient conditions for extinction and permanence of prey and predator populations are derived. Moreover, we present the existence and uniqueness of stationary distribution of this system. Finally, based on numerical simulations and theoretical analysis, it is revealed that (i) high-intensity white noise can lead to the extinction of predator populations; (ii) low-intensity white noise may prolong the period of periodic solutions. This study provides new theoretical guidance for exploring ecological issues in the face of environmental disturbance and spatial diffusion.
