This paper deals with the long-term dynamics of small localized initial data for the nonlinearly coupled reaction-diffuion-advection equations on the real line of the form \[ \begin{aligned} u_t&=d_1 u_{xx}+c_1 u_x+f_1(u,v)+(g_1(u,v))_x, \\ v_t&=d_2 v_{xx}+c_2 v_x+f_2(u,v)+(g_2(u,v))_x \end{aligned}\quad t\geq 0,\ x\in\mathbb{R}, \] with diffusion coefficients $d_i>0$, velocities $c_i\in\mathbb{R}$, and smooth nonlinearities $f_i,g_i:\mathbb{R}^2\to \mathbb{R}$, satisfying $f_i(0),\nabla f_i(0)=0$ and $g_i(0), \nabla g_i(0)=0$. In the abstract, the authors write ``We show that, if the components exhibit different velocities, then quadratic or cubic mixed terms i.e. terms with non trivial contributions from both components, are harmless. We establish global existence and diffusive Gaussian-like decay for exponentially and algebraically localized initial conditions allowing for quadratic and cubic mixed terms. Our proof relies on a nonlinear iteration scheme that employs pointwise estimates.'' They provide the following example \[ \begin{aligned} u_t&=d_1u_{xx}+c_1 u_x+\kappa uv+\beta u^3,\\ v_t&=d_2v_{xx}+c_2 v_x+\gamma (u^2)_x, \end{aligned}\quad t\geq 0,\ x\in\mathbb{R}, \] with coefficients $\kappa, \beta, \gamma \in\mathbb{R}$ and $c_1\not= c_2$, where the mixed term $\kappa uv$ and Burgers' term $\gamma(u^2)_x$ cannot be neglected.
