Prey-Taxis vs. An External Signal: Short-Wave Asymptotic and Stability Analysis by Andrey Morgulis, Karrar H. Malal

“…Both models take into account the capability of the predators to respond to prey density gradients and also to one more signal, the production of which occurs independently of the community state (such a signal can be due to the spatiotemporal inhomogeneity of the environment arising for natural or artificial reasons). We call such a signal external. …”
