August 12, 2024• Physics 17, 123A model based on statistical physics suggests that the combination of species migration and interspecies interactions may allow a complex ecological system to maintain its diversity. G. Garcia Lorenzana et al. [5]G. Garcia Lorenzana et al. [5]×Dietrich Stauffer, one of the most prolific researchers in statistical physics, famously defended the value of applying ideas from physics to other disciplines—including economics, sociology, and even psychology [1].

We study communities emerging from generalized 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 between pairs of species increases with their similarity in trait space. This leads to a model with random Hopfield-like interactions.
