Abstract: A three species model in an ecosystem involving a mutualist interaction among two species and a predator is considered across an autonomous system of intrigro-ordinary delay differential equations. Due to the gestation of the predator, the delay term is proposed to the predator functional response in the model equations. The delay length is estimated how far the stability of the interior equilibrium continues to hold, if the interior equilibrium point is asymptotically stable with no delay term is under consideration. Further the local and global stabilities are discussed by perturbed method and a suitable Lyapunov technique. Also observed the increasing delay can cause a bifurcation of the stable equilibrium into periodic solutions. Finally, the numerical solutions are compared with theoretical results of the model at the end.
