We examine a biological population model of fractional order (FBPM) in this paper using the Riccati-Bernoulli sub-ODE approach. Many scenarios in computational biology make use of this fundamental fractional model. Of particular note is that our study's FBPM uses fractional derivatives to track changes in the density populations. The study is concerned with the construction of new solitary wave solutions for the FBPM, a system of two nonlinear fractional ordinary differential equations. In this investigation, we use the conformable derivative as the fractional derivative. The Backlund transformation is the foundation of the solution process. We create a variety of families of soliton wave solutions and explain different physical behaviours that are inherent in the problems we explore. In particular, we apply the suggested methods to investigate rational, periodic, and hyperbolic solutions. The solutions found in various classes provide insightful information about the underlying physical mechanisms. To sum up, our current methods are superior instruments for analyzing different families of solutions in fractional-order issues.
