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 …

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 …

Evolution is based on the assumption that competing players update their strategies to
increase their individual payoffs. However, while the applied updating method can be …

Mathematical modeling is an important tool to analyze impacts and plan to mitigate
epidemics in communities. In order to estimate the impact of control measures in a second …

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 …

We study the spatial rock-paper-scissors model, where resource competitors' cyclic
dominance impacts organisms' energy levels. Our model assumes that failed selection …

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" …

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 …

From a context of evolutionary dynamics, social games can be studied as complex systems
that may converge to a Nash equilibrium. Nonetheless, they can behave in an unpredictable …
