By using a continuation theorem based on coincidence degree theory we obtain suffcient criteria for the existence of periodic solutions for the system. Moreover when the time scale T is chosen as R or Z the existence of the periodic solutions of the corresponding continuous and discrete models follows. Therefore the methods are unified to provide the existence of the desired solutions for the continuous differential equations and discrete difference equations. Copyright 2009 Zhenjie Liu.

Introduction The traditional predator-prey model has received great attention from both theoretical and mathematical biologists and has been studied extensively . see 1-4 and references therein . Based on growing biological and physiological evidences some biologists have argued that in many situations especially when predators have to search for food and therefore have to share or compete for food the functional response in a prey-predator model should be ratio-dependent which can be roughly stated as that the per capita predator growth rate should be a .
