Abstract In this paper, we study a regime-switching predator–prey model with anti-predator behaviour and higher-order perturbations. We obtain the ergodic property by constructing a suitable stochastic Lyapunov function with regime-switching, which provides us a biological perspective of cycling phenomena of a population system, and can better describe the stochastic persistence of a population system in practice. We find that these restrictive assumptions on the functional response are relative weak and valid for many types of response functions. Highlights • A regime-switching predator–prey model with anti-predator behaviour is studied. • We obtain the ergodic property by constructing a suitable stochastic Lyapunov function. • The existence of a stationary distribution implies stochastic weak stability.

The stochastic autonomous and periodic predator–prey systems with Holling and Leslie type functional response are investigated. For the autonomous system, we prove that there exists a unique stationary distribution, which is ergodic by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function under relatively small white noise. The result shows that, stationary distribution doesn’t rely on the existence and the stability of the positive equilibrium in the undisturbed system. Furthermore, for the corresponding non-autonomous system, we show that there exists a positive periodic Markov process under relatively weaker condition. Finally, numerical simulations illustrate our theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider a stochastic SIRS epidemic model with logistic growth and general nonlinear incidence rate. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of an ergodic stationary distribution of the positive solutions to the stochastic model by constructing a suitable stochastic Lyapunov function, which provides us a good description of persistence. We find that the hypothetical conditions on the nonlinear function are relative weak and valid for many forms of incidence rate. • A stochastic SIRS model with logistic growth and general nonlinear incidence rate is studied. • We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique ergodic stationary distribution. • The conditions on the nonlinear function are relative weak and valid for many forms of incidence rate.

In this paper, a stochastic cholera model with imperfect vaccination is proposed and investigated. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of an ergodic stationary distribution of the positive solutions to the model by constructing a suitable stochastic Lyapunov function. Our result may provide some new insights for elimination of cholera. Some numerical simulation is provided to demonstrate our main result. • A stochastic cholera model with imperfect vaccination is proposed and investigated. • We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique ergodic stationary distribution. • Our result may provide some new insights for elimination of cholera. • Some numerical simulation is provided to demonstrate our main result.
