A nonlocal kinetic model for predator-prey interactions in two dimensions

We extend the aggregation model from Fetecau (2011) by adding a field of vision to individuals and by including a second species. The two species, assumed to have a predator–prey relationship, have dynamics governed by nonlocal kinetic equations that include advection and turning. The latter is the main mechanism for aggregation and orientation, which results from interactions among individuals of the same species as well as predator–prey relationships. We illustrate numerically a diverse set of predator–prey behaviors that can be captured by this model. We show that a prey’s escape outcome depends on the social interactions between its group members, the prey’s field of vision and the sophistication of the predator’s hunting strategies.
