doc=In the asymmetric phase large \(CD\) or \(DC\) domains exist. Along their boundaries isolated \(CC\) and \(DD\) clusters are continuously generated, survive for some time and disappear again. Only sufficiently large \(DD\) clusters can survive and grow. This drives a spike in defection until the \(DD\) cluster hits a \(CC\) pair which can invade and pave the way to restore the original asymmetry.

For the simulations, the lattice size is \(N=L\times L\) with \(L=225\), a cost-to-benefit ratio of \(r=0.0006\) and \(K=0.1\). Note, bursts are very rare events and, unfortunately, it is highly unlikely to witness one. In fact, it already requires quite a bit of patience to wait until the populations have relaxed and the gets asymmetry established.}}
