report
When three species compete cyclically in a well-mixed, stochastic system of $N$ individuals, extinction is known to typically occur at times scaling as the system size $N$. This happens, for example, in rock-paper-scissors games or conserved Lotka-Volterra models in which every pair of individuals can interact on a complete graph. Here we show that if the competing individuals also have a "social temperament" to be either introverted or extroverted, leading them to cut or add links respectively, then long-living state in which all species coexist can occur when both introverts and extroverts are present. These states are non-equilibrium quasi-steady states, maintained by a subtle balance between species competition and network dynamcis. Remarkably, much of the phenomena is embodied in a mean-field description. However, an intuitive understanding of why diversity stabilizes the co-evolving node and link dynamics remains an open issue.
