Abstract
This paper presents a generalized predator–prey system and considers the effect of habitat complexity on the dynamical consequences. The results show that habitat complexity has a major impact on the dynamical consequences of the considered system. On the one hand, habitat complexity has a stabilizing impact under certain conditions. A numerical simulation in our study and in experiments conducted in the published studies elaborate on this stabilizing effect. On the other hand, the most interesting and open issue is that a destabilizing effect of habitat complexity is found theoretically. All results are explained and illustrated from the ecological viewpoint.
