Chemotaxis, the movement of organisms in response to chemical gradients, is a pivotal mechanism shaping predator-prey dynamics in ecological systems. In this talk, we delve into the intricate interplay between chemical signaling and predator-prey interactions, focusing on a specialized predator-prey model. We explore how chemical cues influence the behavior and spatial distribution of organisms, incorporating discussions on well-posedness properties, linear stability analysis, and the emergence of spatio-temporal patterns. By employing innovative mathematical modeling techniques, we aim to elucidate the role of chemotactic interactions in ecological systems. Through numerical simulations, we showcase the emergence of spatially segregated patterns, offering insights into the underlying mechanisms driving ecosystem dynamics. Our comprehensive approach sheds light on the profound impact of chemical conversations on predator-prey relationships, paving the way for advancements in ecological understanding and conservation strategies.
