We first give sufficient conditions for the permanence of nonautonomous discrete ratio-dependent predator-prey model. By linearization of the model at positive solutions and construction of Lyapunov function, we also obtain some conditions which ensure that a positive solution of the model is stable and attracts all positive solutions.

Ratio-dependent predator–prey models are favored by many animal ecologists recently as more suitable ones for predator–prey interactions where predation involves searching process. In this paper, a ratio-dependent predator–prey model with stage structure and time delay for prey is proposed and analyzed. In this model, we only consider the stage structure of immature and mature prey species and not consider the stage structure of predator species. We assume that the predator only feed on the mature prey and the time for prey from birth to maturity represented by a constant time delay. At first, we investigate the permanence and existence of the proposed model and sufficient conditions are derived. Then the global stability of the nonnegative equilibria are derived. We also get the sufficient criteria for stability switch of the positive equilibrium. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out for supporting the analytic results.
