Why is cyclic dominance so rare?

eLife - 4 Sept 2020

Park Hye Jin, Pichugin Yuriy, Traulsen Arne

Abstract excerpt

Natural populations can contain multiple types of coexisting individuals. How does natural selection maintain such diversity within and across populations? A popular theoretical basis for the maintenance of diversity is cyclic dominance, illustrated by the rock-paper-scissor game. However, it appears difficult to find cyclic dominance in nature. Why is this the case? Focusing on continuously produced novel...
