This paper describes the structure of the nodal set of segregation profiles arising in the singular limit of planar, stationary, reaction-diffusion systems with strongly competitive interactions of Lotka-Volterra type, when the matrix of…
We deal with strongly competing multispecies systems of Lotka-Volterra type with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in dumbbell-like domains. Under suitable non-degeneracy assumptions, we show that, as the competition rate grows…
This paper is concerned with the existence of pulsating front solutions in space-periodic media for a bistable two-species competition--diffusion Lotka--Volterra system. Considering highly competitive systems, a simple "high frequency or…
We discuss some stochastic spatial generalizations of the Lotka--Volterra model for competing species. The generalizations take the forms of spin systems on general discrete sets and interacting diffusions on integer lattices. Methods for…
A diffusive Lotka-Volterra competition model is considered for the combined effect of spatial dispersal and spatial variations of resource on the population persistence and exclusion. First it is shown that in a two-species system in which…
In this monograph, we introduce a new model in population dynamics that describes two species sharing the same environmental resources in a situation of open hostility. The interactions among these populations are described not in terms of…
The goal of this work is to explain an unexpected feature of the expanding level sets of the solutions of a system where a half plane, in which reaction-diusion phenomena take place, exchanges mass with a line having a large diusion of its…
We study the conditions under which species interaction, as described by continuous versions of the competitive Lotka-Volterra model (namely the nonlocal Kolmogorov-Fisher model, and its differential approximation), can support the…
This paper studies the Lotka-Volterra competition model with cross-diffusion terms under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We consider the asymptotic behavior of positive steady-states as equal two cross-diffusion coefficients tend…
We aim to classify the long-time behavior of the solution to a free boundary problem with monostable reaction term in space-time periodic media. Such a model may be used to describe the spreading of a new or invasive species, with the free…
A fundamental problem in evolutionary ecology research is to explain how different species coexist in natural ecosystems. This question is directly related with species trophic competition. However, competition theory, based on the…
We study a boundary value problem with an integral constraint that arises from the modelings of species competition proposed by Lou and Ni in \cite{LN2}. Through bifurcation theories, we obtain the existence of non-constant positive…
We study communities emerging from generalised random Lotka--Volterra dynamics with a large number of species with interactions determined by the degree of niche overlap. Each species is endowed with a number of traits, and competition…
We model the growth, dispersal and mutation of two phenotypes of a species using reaction-diffusion equations, focusing on the biologically realistic case of small mutation rates. After verifying that the addition of a small linear mutation…
In this paper, we investigate a Lotka-Volterra competition-diffusion system with self-memory effects and spatial heterogeneity under Dirichlet boundary conditions. We focus on how memory strength influences the coexistence and stability of…
This paper aims at understanding the longtime behaviors of a reducible cooperative system with nonlocal diffusions and different free boundaries, describing the interactions of two mutually beneficial species. Compared with the irreducible…
We study the effect of speciation, i.e. the introduction of new species through evolution into communities, in the setting of predator-prey systems. Predator-prey dynamics is classically well modeled by Lotka-Volterra equations, also when…
We have analyzed the interplay between noise and periodic modulations in a classical Lotka-Volterra model of two-species competition. We have found that the consideration of noise changes drastically the behavior of the system and leads to…
Understanding how patterns and travelling waves form in chemical and biological reaction-diffusion models is an area which has been widely researched, yet is still experiencing fast development. Surprisingly enough, we still do not have a…
Using a new approach, we establish a maximum principle for diffusive Lotka-Volterra systems of two competing species. Under certain conditions we show this maximum principle leads to the nonexistence of traveling waves solutions for systems…
