Evolutionarily stable range limits set by interspecific competition.
A combination of abiotic and biotic factors probably restricts the range of many species. Recent evolutionary models and tests of those models have asked how a gradual change in environmental conditions can set the range limit, with a prominent idea being that gene flow disrupts local adaptation. We investigate how biotic factors, explicitly competition for limited resources, result in evolutio...
متن کاملForaging under competition: evolutionarily stable patch-leaving strategies with random arrival times. 1. Scramble competition
Our objective is to determine the evolutionarily stable strategy [14] supposed to drive the behavior of foragers competing for a common patchily distributed resource [16]. Compared to [18], the innovation lies in the fact that random arrival times are allowed. In this first part, we investigate scramble competition: the game still yields simple Charnov-like strategies [4]. Thus we attempt to co...
متن کاملIs altruism evolutionarily stable
We develop an evolutionary approach to explain altruistic preferences. Given their preferences, individuals interact rationally with each other. By comparing the success of players with different preferences, we investigate whether evolution favors altruistic or selfish attitudes. The outcome depends on whether the individuals' interactions are strategic complements or substitutes. Altruism and...
متن کاملEvolutionarily stable dispersal strategies.
Using the idea that life-history parameters are subject to natural selection and should approach values that are stable optima, with the population immune to invasion by mutant individuals, we derive an analytic expression for the evolutionarily stable dispersal rate in a stochastic island model with random site extinction. The results provide interesting contrasts between three different optim...
متن کامل10 Evolutionarily Stable Strategies
In 1973 the biologist John Maynard Smith and the mathematician G. R. Price wrote an article in Nature showing how game theory applies to the behavior of animals (Maynard Smith and Price 1973). Maynard Smith went on to write a book on the subject (Maynard Smith 1982), which has become a classic. The idea of applying game theory to animals, and not just the higher primates, but fish, dung beetles...
