Abstract:
We study a diffusive predator-prey model describing the interactions of small fishes and their resource base (small invertebrates) in the fluctuating freshwater marsh landscapes of the Florida Everglades. The spatial model is described by a reaction-diffusion system with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response. Uniform bound, local and global asymptotic stability of the steady state of the PDE model under the no-flux boundary conditions are discussed in details. Sufficient conditions on the Turing (diffusion-driven) instability which induces spatial patterns in the model are derived via linear analysis. Existence of one-dimensional and two-dimensional spatial Turing patterns, including rhombic and hexagonal patterns, are established by weakly nonlinear analyses. These results provide theoretical explanations and numerical simulations of spatial dynamical behaviors of the wetland ecosystems of the Florida Everglades.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
