Abstract
The classical Lotka-Volterra system that describes predator – prey interaction is one of the cornerstones of mathematical ecology.
In this lecture I will introduce this system and recall some of its main features. I will then present an extension of the original Lotka-Volterra system that aims at showing how territories are formed as a result of strong competition between packs of predators.
