Abstract:

This paper is concerned with a stochastic three-species food web model with omnivory which is defined as feeding on more than one trophic level. The model involves a prey, an intermediate predator, and an omnivorous top predator. First, by the stochastic comparison theorem, we show that there is a unique global positive solution to the model. Next, we investigate the asymptotic pathwise behavior of the model. Then, we conclude that the model is persistent in mean and extinct and discuss the stochastic persistence of the model. Further, by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of an ergodic stationary distribution to the model. Then, we present the application of the main results in some special models. Finally, we introduce some numerical simulations to support the main results obtained. The results in this paper generalize and improve the previous related results.
