Abstract: In this paper, a delayed ratio-dependent predator–prey model with Holling type III functional response and stage structure for the predator is considered. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of each of the feasible equilibria of the system is addressed and the existence of Hopf bifurcations at the coexistence equilibrium is established. By utilizing normal form method and center manifold theorem, the explicit formulas which determine the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating period solutions are derived. Finally, numerical simulations supporting the theoretical analysis are given.
