# On a property of a generalized Kolmogorov population model

• We consider Kolmogorov-type systems which are not necessarily competitive or cooperative. Our main result shows that such systems cannot have nontrivial periodic solutions whose orbits are orbitally stable. We obtain our results under two assumptions that we consider to be natural assumptions.
