Persistence and stability in general nonautonomous single-species Kolmogorov systems with delays

This paper studies the general nonautonomous single-species Kolmogorov systems with delays. The sufficient conditions on the persistence and permanence of species, global asymptotic stability and the existence of positive periodic solutions are established. As applications of these results, the permanence, global asymptotic stability and the existence of positive periodic solutions for a series of special single-species growth systems with delays are discussed.
