Abstract
Dynamical characteristics of an integrodifferential system modelling two species competition with hereditary effects are investigated; in particular we derive sufficient conditions for the persistence of the species, existence of an attracting periodic solution and ‘level-crossings’ of solutions about the periodic solution.
