Choristoneura Fumiferana is perilous defoliators of forest lands in North America and many countries in Europe. In this study, we consider mathematical models in ecology, epidemiology and bifurcation studies; the spruce budworm model and the population model with harvesting. The study is designed based on bifurcation analysis. In particular, the results support population thresholds necessary for survival in certain cases. In a series of numerical examples, the outcomes are presented graphically to compare with bifurcation results. |
