Abstract: We complete the global qualitative analysis of a quartic family of planar vector fields corresponding to a rational Holling-type dynamical system, which models the dynamics of the populations of predators and their prey in a given ecological or biomedical system.

Keywords: bifurcation; field rotation parameter; Holling-type systems; dynamical systems; limit cycle; singular point; Wintner-Perko termination principle; planar vector fields; modelling; population dynamics; predators; prey; ecological systems; biomedical systems.
