There are several definitions of persistence of species, which amount to define interactions between them ensuring the survival of all the species initially present in the system. The aim of this paper is to present a wide family of examples in dimension $n>2$ (very natural in biological dynamics) exhibiting convergence towards a cycle when starting from anywhere with the exception of a zero-measure set of "forbidden" initial positions. The forbidden set is a heteroclinic orbit linking two equilibria on the boundary of the domain. Moreover, such systems have no equilibrium point interior to the domain (which is necessary for classical persistence for topological reasons). Such systems do not enjoy persistence in a strict sense, whereas in practice they do. The forbidden initial set does not matter in practice, but it modifies drastically the topological properties.

Keywords: Darwinian dynamics, persistence of species, systems without equilibrium.
