Some aspects of their influ- ence on the coevolution of populations with cyclic interspecies competition have been demonstrated in recent experiments [e.g. B. Kerr et al., Nature 418, 171 (2002)]. To reach a better theoretical understanding of these phenomena, we consider a paradigmatic spatial model where three species exhibit cyclic dominance. Using an individual-based description, as well as stochastic partial dif- ferential and deterministic reaction-diffusion equations, we account for stochastic fluctuations and spatial diffusion at different levels, and show how fascinating patterns of entangled spirals emerge. We rationalize our analysis by computing the spatio-temporal correlation functions and provide analytical expressions for the front velocity and the wavelength of the propagating spiral waves. PACS numbers: 87.23.Cc,02.50.Ey,05.10.Gg,87.18.Hf Understanding the combined influence of spatial de- grees of freedom and noise on biodiversity is an impor- tant issue in theoretical biology and ecology. This im- plies to face the challenging problem of studying com- plex nonequilibrium structures, which form in the course of nonlinear evolution [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. More gener- ally, self-organized nonequilibrium patterns and travel- ing waves are ubiquitous in nature and appear, for in- stance, in chemical reactions, biological systems, as well as in epidemic outbreaks [7]. Among the most stud- ied types of patterns are spiral waves, which are rel- evant to autocatalytic chemical react
