The author presents a detailed analysis of Melnikov functions which arise in quadratic perturbations of generalized Lotka-Volterra vector fields with the first integral \(x^{\alpha}y^{\beta}(1-x-y)\) and, in particular, proves that the maximal number of limit cycles in the generic case is equal to 2 and in the Hamiltonian triangle case is equal to 3.
