Abstract
We discuss a nonlinear model of the spatial–time interaction among populations which reproduction and intensity of interaction depend on their spatial density. For the particular case of two populations with constant growth rates and competition coefficients we obtain analytical nonlinear waves of kink kind. The kinks are connected to propagation of the deviations from the stationary densities corresponding to fixed points in the phase space of the population densities. The kinks are coupled, i.e. the changes of the densities of the two populations are synchronous. Coupled kink solutions are obtained also for the general case of variable growth rates and variable coefficients of interactions.
