Widely successful in applied population biology, the Evolutionarily Stable Strategy concept
remains controversial because of the severe restrictions present in its original formulation …

Evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) analysis pioneered by Maynard Smith and Price took off
in part because it often does not require explicit assumptions about the genetics and …

The last decade has seen a steady increase in the application of concepts from
noncooperative game theory to such diverse fields as economics, political science, law …

A strategy in a population game is evolutionarily stable if, when adopted by large enough a
majority in the population, it becomes advantageous against any mutant strategy. It is said to …

Covering the major topics of evolutionary game theory, Game-Theoretical Models in Biology,
Second Edition presents both abstract and practical mathematical models of real biological …

Evolutionary game dynamics of two players with two strategies has been studied in great
detail. These games have been used to model many biologically relevant scenarios, ranging …

The paper, which has an informal discussion at the end, provides a game theoretical
analysis of the asymmetric “war of attrition” with incomplete information. This is a contest …

The method of evolutionary stable strategies (ESS), in its current form, is confronted with a
difficulty when it tries to explain how some social behaviors initiate their evolution. We show …

Abstract In the “War of Attrition” model of animal conflict, introduced by Maynard Smith, a
reward is obtained by whichever of two opponents displays longer, each individual incurring …

The theory of kin selection, as developed by Hamilton (eg, 1964, 1970) stems from the fact
that in a sexually reproducing population, the genotype of a progeny of an individual is not …
