Abstract

A nonautonomous semiratio-dependent predator-prey system with nonmonotonic functional responses is investigated. For general nonautonomous case, positive invariance, permanence, and globally asymptotic stability for the system are studied. For the periodic (almost periodic) case, sufficient conditions for existence, uniqueness, and stability of a positive periodic (almost periodic) solution are obtained.
