Generalized lotka-volterra systems with time correlated stochastic interactions

S Suweis, F Ferraro, C Grilletta, S Azaele, A Maritan - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
In this Letter, we explore the dynamics of species abundances within ecological
communities using the generalized Lotka-Volterra (GLV) model. At variance with previous …

Phase Transition to Chaos in Complex Ecosystems with Nonreciprocal Species-Resource Interactions

E Blumenthal, JW Rocks, P Mehta - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Nonreciprocal interactions between microscopic constituents can profoundly shape the
large-scale properties of complex systems. Here, we investigate the effects of nonreciprocity …

Heterogeneous mean-field analysis of the generalized Lotka-Volterra model on a network

F Aguirre-López - arxiv preprint arxiv:2404.11164, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study the dynamics of the generalized Lotka-Volterra model with a network structure.
Performing a high connectivity expansion for graphs, we write down a mean-field dynamical …

Local and extensive fluctuations in sparsely interacting ecological communities

S Marcus, AM Turner, G Bunin - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
Ecological communities with many species can be classified into dynamical phases. In
systems with all-to-all interactions, a phase where species abundances always reach a fixed …

Non-reciprocal spin-glass transition and aging

GG Lorenzana, A Altieri, G Biroli, M Fruchart… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Disordered systems generically exhibit aging and a glass transition. Previous studies have
long suggested that non-reciprocity tends to destroy glassiness. Here, we show that this is …

Generating-functional analysis of random Lotka-Volterra systems: A step-by-step guide

T Galla - arxiv preprint arxiv:2405.14289, 2024 - arxiv.org
This paper provides what is hopefully a self-contained set of notes describing the detailed
steps of a generating-functional analysis of systems of generalised Lotka-Volterra equations …

Symmetry-based approach to species-rich ecological communities

J Giral Martínez - Physical Review E, 2025 - APS
Disordered systems theory provides powerful tools to analyze the generic behaviors of high-
dimensional systems, such as species-rich ecological communities or neural networks. By …

From an exact solution of dynamics in the vicinity of hard walls to extreme-value statistics of non-Markovian processes

T Arnoulx de Pirey - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
We present an exact solution for one-dimensional overdamped dynamics near a hard wall,
allowing us to connect steady-state distributions under confinement with the extreme-value …

TA de Pirey, G Bunin, A Mahadevan… - PHYSICAL …, 2024 - condmatjclub.org
In the mid 1970s, theoretical physicist turned theoretical ecologist Robert May published an
extremely influential set of manuscripts on chaos, stability, and diversity in complex …

Optimization hardness constrains ecological transients

W Gilpin - arxiv preprint arxiv:2403.19186, 2024 - arxiv.org
Living systems operate far from equilibrium, yet few general frameworks provide global
bounds on biological transients. Here, we frame equilibration in complex ecosystems as the …
