We classify the global dynamics of the five-parameter family of planar Kolmogorov systems \begin{equation*} \begin{split} \dot{y}&=y \left( b_0+ b_1 y z + b_2 y + b_3 z\right), \dot{z}&=z\left( c_0 + b_1 y z + b_2 y + b_3 z\right),…
Consider a general $3$-dimensional Lotka-Volterra system with a rational first integral of degree two of the form $H=x^i y^j z^k$. The restriction of this Lotka-Volterra system to each surface $H(x,y,z)=h$ varying $h\in \mathbb{R}$ provide…
We deal with a Leslie-Gower predator-prey model with a generalist or alternating food for predator and linear functional response. Using a topological equivalent polynomial system we prove that the system is not Liouvillian (hence also not…
In this paper we consider a family of system with 2 predators feeding on one prey. We show how to construct a positively invariant set in which it is possible to define a Poincar\'e map for examining the behaviour of the system, mainly in…
The dynamics of a prey-predator system with foraging facilitation among predators are investigated. The analysis involves the computation of many semi-algebraic systems of large degrees. We apply the pseudo-division reduction, real-root…
We consider adaptive change of diet of a predator population that switches its feeding between two prey populations. We develop a novel 1 fast--3 slow dynamical system to describe the dynamics of the three populations amidst continuous but…
Drawing on the understanding of the logistic map, we propose a simple predator-prey model where predators and prey adapt to each other, leading to the co-evolution of the system. The special dynamics observed in periodic windows contribute…
In this work, we investigate the system of three species ecological model involving one predator-prey subsystem coupling with a generalist predator with negative effect on the prey. Without diffusive terms, all global dynamics of its…

We consider generalized Kolmogorov system. We prove the existence of heteroclinic trajectory. We apply the results to astrophysical models for self-gravitating particles and predator-prey systems.
In this paper, we complete the global qualitative analysis of a quartic family of planar vector fields corresponding to a rational Holling-type dynamical system which models the dynamics of the populations of predators and their prey in a…
For a continuously differentiable Kolmogorov map defined from the nonnegative orthant to itself, a type-K competitive system is defined. Under the assumptions that the system is dissipative and the origin is a repeller, the global dynamics…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of a discrete Kolmogorov predator-prey model with Ricker-type prey growth. We give the sufficient and necessary condition to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of the positive fixed point. Using the…
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…
Ecological systems are complex dynamical systems. Modelling efforts on ecosystems' dynamical stability have revealed that population dynamics, being highly nonlinear, can be governed by complex fluctuations. Indeed, experimental and field…
In this paper we obtain the global dynamics and phase portraits of quadratic and cubic quasi-homogeneous but non-homogeneous systems. We first prove that all planar quadratic and cubic quasi-homogeneous but non-homogeneous polynomial…
Cyclic dominant systems, like rock-paper-scissors game, are frequently used to explain biodiversity in nature, where mobility, reproduction and intransitive competition are on stage to provide the coexistence of competitors. A significantly…

The study of interactions between multiple species in an ecosystem is an active and impactful direction of inquiry. This is true in particular for fragile systems in which even small perturbations of their functional parameters can produce…
