Prey–predator dynamics with adaptive protection mutualism

作者：

Highlights：

• A non-smooth predator-prey system with a prey mutualist is analyzed.

• Mutualism modifies prey-predator interaction strength and leads to occurrence of multiple coexisting equilibria and limit cycles.

• Some bifurcations arise due to non-smoothness of the model.
