On the other hand, we study the generalized Poincare-Andronov-Hopf bifurcations of parameterized families of flows at boundary points of R-+(n) or, more generally, of an n-dimensional manifold, and show that this kind of bifurcations produce a whole family of attractors evolving from the bifurcation point and having interesting topological properties. In particular, in some cases the bifurcation transforms a system with extreme non-permanence properties into a uniformly persistent one. We study in the paper when this phenomenon. happens and provide an example constructed by combining a Holling-type interaction with a pitchfork bifurcation. %~
