The second category: Mechanisms breaking CEP in its original context. (A) Formation of a chasing pair between a consumer and a resource, where the system remains under the constraint of the CEP. (B, C) With the introduction of the "chasing triplet," where two consumer individuals chase a single resource individual, the CEP can be naturally broken. (D, E) The mean-field model of intraspecific predator interference allows multiple consumer species to stably coexist with a single resource species, irrespective of stochasticity. (F) The model quantitatively explains species rank-abundance curves in various types of communities.
