Characteristic spatial distributions of species, for different values of the local carrying capacity M. Here red, blue, and yellow dots represent the three competing species, while the empty space is marked by white. The snapshots were taken after \(10^8\) MC steps. The actual values of M is 5 (a), 10 (b), 15 (c), 20 (d), 25 (e), and 30 (f), respectively. The comparison highlights clearly that the rotating spiral pattern becomes more evident as M is increased.
