Abstract

Summary We show that a number of models in virus dynamics, epidemiology and plant biology can be presented as “damped” versions of the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model, by analogy to the damped harmonic oscillator. The analogy deepens with the use of Lyapunov functions, which allow us to characterize their dynamics and even make some estimates.
