Nature Sub-Journal: The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Bacteria, not the survival of the strong
Time of Update: 2021-03-25
Unlike the perfectly balanced rock-scissors-cloth game where three species kill each other at equal speeds, they focus on describing an asymmetric system in which the relative competitive advantage between each predator-prey pair is different.
Using their three-strain ecology, they experimentally proved that the weakest species is the most likely to win an evenly distributed rock-cloth-scissors game.
