Primes¶
- Rock-Paper-Scissors (Intransitive Cyclic Dominance)
- In ecology, the side-blotched lizard's three mating morphs cycle in dominance, and bacterial toxin-producer, sensitive, and resistant strains maintain coexistence by cyclic competition rather than competitive exclusion.
This sourceDocuments the side-blotched lizard's three male mating morphs cycling in cyclic dominance with frequencies oscillating over a six-year period in the field.

Sinervo & Lively's abstract documents the side-blotched lizard's three male morphs oscillating over six years with non-transitive morph fitnesses, backing the lizard half of the claim only.
“Using parameter estimates from field data, the model predicted oscillations in morph frequency, and the frequencies of the three male morphs were found to oscillate over a six-year period in the field. The fitnesses of each morph relative to other morphs were non-transitive in that each morph could invade another morph when rare, but was itself invadable by another morph when common.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
