Lotka's seminal work (Lotka AJ, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 6 (1920) 410)" on certain
rhythmic relations" is already one hundred years old, but the research activity about pattern …

We study generalised rock–paper–scissors models with an arbitrary odd number N≥ 5 of
species, among which n are weak, with 2≤ n≤(N− 1)/2. Because of the species' weakness …

Domain wall networks in the early universe, formed upon spontaneous breaking of a
discrete symmetry, have a rich impact on cosmology. Yet, they remain somewhat …

The self-protection of alliances against external invaders is a key concept behind the
maintenance of biodiversity in the face of natural selection. But since these alliances, which …

Antipredator behavior is a self-preservation strategy present in many biological systems,
where individuals join the effort in a collective reaction to avoid being caught by an …

To understand the biodiversity of an ecosystem cannot be understood by solely analyzing
the pair relations of competing species. Instead, we should consider multi-point interactions …

We investigate a tritrophic system whose cyclic dominance is modelled by the rock–paper–
scissors game. We consider that organisms of one or two species are affected by movement …

In this letter we consider a single parameter generalization of the standard three species
Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) model allowing for predator-prey reversal. This model, which …

We investigate the impact of parity on the abundance of weak species in the context of the
simplest generalization of the rock-paper-scissors model to an arbitrary number of species …

Climate changes may affect ecosystems destabilising relationships among species. We
investigate the spatial rock-paper-scissors models with a regional unevenness that reduces …
