Persistence and stability for a two-species ratio-dependent predator-prey system with time delay in a two-patch environment

Abstract A two-species ratio-dependent predator-prey diffusion model with time delay is investigated. It is shown that the system is permanent under some appropriate conditions, and sufficient conditions are obtained for the local and global stability of the positive equilibrium of the system.
