We address the biological dynamics problem of the persistence of several species in conditions of non-existence of an equilibrium, including an example of stabilization by predation and the very controversial “competitive exclusion” (which depends on the precise definition of persistence). We give normal forms for various examples of such (essentially dynamical) persistence and comments on the involved topology, which implies the presence of exceptional heteroclinic connections binding equilibria on the boundary.
