For a number of years the Geneva Observatory stellar dynamics group has undertaken numerical investigations of stellar orbital behaviour in conservative dynamical systems with three degrees of freedom. Compared to results for 3-D axisymmetrical models (2 degrees of freedom), this work displayed the advent of several new phenomena which may appear in rotating or non-rotating stellar systems with three unequal axes (ellipticals, bulges, bars). Some of these phenomena deserve particular attention.
