| Summary: | Abstract The Kolmogorov model has been applied to many biological and environmental problems. We are particularly interested in one of its variants, that is, a Gauss-type predator–prey model that includes the Allee effect and Holling type-III functional response. Instead of using classic first order differential equations to formulate the model, fractional order differential equations are utilized. The existence and uniqueness of a nonnegative solution as well as the conditions for the existence of equilibrium points are provided. We then investigate the local stability of the three types of equilibrium points by using the linearization method. The conditions for the existence of a Hopf bifurcation at the positive equilibrium are also presented. To further affirm the theoretical results, numerical simulations for the coexistence equilibrium point are carried out.
