Bifurcation analysis of a detritus-based ecosystem with time delay. (English) Zbl 1009.92036

Summary: This article concentrates on the study of delay effects of a mangrove ecosystem of detritus, detritivores and predators of detritivores. Local stability criteria are derived in the absence of delays. Conditions are found for which the system undergoes a Hopf bifurcation. Further conditions are derived for which there can be no change in stability.
