Abstract: We investigate dual mechanisms for interacting particle systems. Generalizing an approach of Alkemper and Hutzenthaler in the case of coalescing duals, we show that a simple linear transformation leads to a moment duality of suitably rescaled processes. More precisely, we show how dualities of interacting particle systems of the form $H(A,B)=q^{|AcapB|},A,Bsubset{0,1}^N,qin[-1,1),$ are rescaled to yield moment dualities of rescaled processes. We discuss in particular the case $q=-1,$ which explains why certain population models with balancing selection have an annihilating dual process. We also consider different values of $q,$ and answer a question by Alkemper and Hutzenthaler.
