The Lotka-Volterra competition modelCompetition within one population (the logistic model)
Competition within two populations
is the carrying capacity
is the intrinsic (or initial) per-capita growth rate
is the per-capita competition mortality
(adimensional) competition coefficients
symmetric competition
asymmetric competition favoring population 2 / 1
Competition within two populations

the principle of competitive exclusion(Hardin G., Science 131, 1960; Gause G.F., Williams&Wilkins, 1934)
Transcritical bifurcations (see f.r. 1)
geometric view: collision of two equilibria, as a parameter is varied, which “exchange stability”
algebraic view : a zero eigenvalue in the system’s Jacobian
Four possible scenarios (state portraits)
coexistence dominance-2 dominance-1 mutual exclusion
Back to the principle of competitive exclusion, consider the case ofsymmetric competition with
Mutual exclusion is the resulting scenario when competition is sufficiently strong
A simple model of mutualismTwo species, e.g. flowers and pollinating insects, with densities and
There is intra-specific competition for commodities, as well as for other resources
The mutualism is obligate
A simple model (see f.r. 2)
where and are nonnegative increasing functions
and , , , , are positive constant parameters
The per-capita rates of commodities trading are inheritable phenotypes andthus is the prob. that an individual of species 2 receives a benefit from species 1 in the time intervalsimilarly for
