Abstract: It is well known that spatial memory exists in animal movement modelling. Since spatial memory is related to the past information, then delay arises. In view of the protection of ecological environment, more and more scholars are concerned about the effects of toxic substances on it. A prey–predator system with memory-induced cross-diffusion and toxin in predator is considered in this paper. First, we discuss the fundamental dynamics in detail. Then considering the memory-induced cross-diffusion coefficient and the averaged memory period delay in predator as the controlling parameters, we get that n-mode Hopf bifurcations exist at the positive steady state. Stability switches are generated, and there are spatially nonhomogeneous periodic solutions . Namely if the cross-diffusion coefficient is small, the populations always coexist. If the cross-diffusion coefficient is moderate, two kinds of critical values of the averaged memory period of Hopf bifurcations occur and stability switches may be induced by the delay. If the cross-diffusion coefficient becomes larger, one kind of critical value of the averaged memory period of Hopf bifurcation occur. From simulations, the memory-based cross-diffusion and toxin have vital influences on stability. The moderate toxin can be good for population coexistence. When the averaged memory period is small, the toxin does not change the stability. Once the averaged memory period is bigger, the toxin can change the stability. Moreover, it shows that the averaged memory delay could switch the stability of the system.
