Abstract
We extend the study of the integrability done by Leach and Miritzis (J Nonlinear Math Phys 13:535–548, 2006) on the classical model of competition between three species studied by May and Leonard (SIAM J Appl Math 29:243–256, 1975), to all real values of the parameters. Additionally, our results provide all polynomial, rational and analytic first integrals of this extended model. We also classify all the invariant algebraic surfaces of these models.
