Many species participate in the version of the nature of the games of the rock-paper-shears, where the rock beats shears, paper of the strokes of the shears, and strokes of the paper balan. Because nobody type is better of what all the other, such games are a powerful force that promotes biodiversity.

But that if two of the players in the game belong to the same species with many intermediate forms, as demonstrated recently for interactions of the plant-plant?

A mathematical model of this situation discloses that with sexual reproduction and interactions with neighboring organisms - factors thought generally to promote the stability ecological - the games of the rock-paper-shears are only desestabilizados extremely, enhancing in this manner the risk of the extinguishing, and reducing biodiversity.
