Abstract
The objective of this work was to investigate the dynamics of host-parasitoid model with spatial refuge effect. For this, two discrete host-parasitoid models were considered under spatial refuge effect. Suppose that a constant population of hosts may seek refuge and protection from an attack of parasitoids. We found the parametric factors affecting the existence of the equilibrium points and uniqueness of equilibrium points. A local stability analysis of host-parasitoid models was also carried out. Bifurcation theory was used to observe that the host-parasitoid models undergo Neimark-Sacker bifurcation. The effect of the existence of constant refuge effect on the local stability and bifurcation of models was also explored. Hybrid chaos control methodology was used to control the chaotic behavior of model. In addition, numerical simulations, bifurcation diagrams, and phase portraits of the models are also presented.
