Pattern formations driven by cyclic interactions: A brief review of recent developments

A Szolnoki, BF De Oliveira, D Bazeia - Europhysics Letters, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

How multiple weak species jeopardise biodiversity in spatial rock–paper–scissors models

J Menezes, R Barbalho - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2023 - Elsevier
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 …

Predominance of the weakest species in Lotka-Volterra and May-Leonard formulations of the rock-paper-scissors model

PP Avelino, BF de Oliveira, RS Trintin - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
We revisit the problem of the predominance of the “weakest” species in the context of Lotka-
Volterra and May-Leonard formulations of a spatial stochastic rock-paper-scissors model in …

Antipredator behavior in the rock-paper-scissors model

J Menezes - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
When faced with an imminent risk of predation, many animals react to escape consumption.
Antipredator strategies are performed by individuals acting as a group to intimidate …

Enhancing coexistence of mobile species in the cyclic competition system by wildlife refuge

Y Lu, C Shen, M Wu, C Du, L Shi, J Park - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary …, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
We investigate evolving dynamics of cyclically competing species on spatially extended
systems with considering a specific region, which is called the “wildlife refuge,” one of the …

The effect of habitats and fitness on species coexistence in systems with cyclic dominance

R Baker, M Pleimling - Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2020 - Elsevier
Cyclic dominance between species may yield spiral waves that are known to provide a
mechanism enabling persistent species coexistence. This observation holds true even in …

Adaptive survival movement strategy to local epidemic outbreaks in cyclic models

J Menezes, B Moura, E Rangel - Journal of Physics: Complexity, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the generalised rock-paper-scissors game with five species whose organisms face
local epidemic outbreaks. As an evolutionary behavioural survival strategy, organisms of …

Trade-off between reproduction and mobility prolongs organisms' survival in rock-paper-scissors models

J Menezes, E Rangel - Europhysics Letters, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the spatial rock-paper-scissors model, where resource competitors' cyclic
dominance impacts organisms' energy levels. Our model assumes that failed selection …

Adaptive altruistic strategy in cyclic models during an epidemic

J Menezes, B Ferreira, E Rangel, B Moura - Europhysics Letters, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate a cyclic game system where organisms face an epidemic beyond being
threatened by natural enemies. As a survival strategy, individuals of one out of the species …

Weak species in rock-paper-scissors models

PP Avelino, BF de Oliveira, RS Trintin - Europhysics Letters, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
In this letter, we investigate the population dynamics in a May-Leonard formulation of the
rock-paper-scissors (RPS) game in which one or two species, which we shall refer to as" …
