By using the theory of calculus on time scales and some mathematical methods, several dynamic inequalities on time scales are established. Based on these results, we derive some sufficient conditions for permanence of predator-prey system incorporating a prey refuge on time scales. Finally, examples and numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the results. 1. Introduction An important and ubiquitous problem in predator-prey theory and related topics in mathematical ecology concerns the long-term coexistence of species. In the past few years, permanence of different classes of continuous or discrete ecosystem has been studied wildly both in theories and applications; we refer the readers to 1–6 and the references therein. However, in the natural world, there are many species whose developing processes are both continuous and discrete. Hence, using the only differential equation or difference equation cannot accurately describe the law of their developments. Therefore, there is a need to
