Uniqueness of limit cycles and multiple attractors in a Gause-typepredator-prey model with nonmonotonic functional response and Allee effecton prey by Eduardo González-Olivares, Betsabé González-Yañez, Jaime Mena-Lorca, José D. Flores

“…    Trajectories starting at one side of this separatrix curve have theequilibrium point $(0,0)$ as their $\omega $-limit, while trajectoriesstarting at the other side will approach to one of the following threeattractors: a stable limit cycle, a stable coexistence point or the stableequilibrium point $(K,0)$ in which the predators disappear andprey attains their carrying capacity.    We obtain conditions on the parameter values for the existence of one or twopositive hyperbolic equilibrium points and the existence of a limit cyclesurrounding one of them. …”
