This article investigates the mapping of Colored Trails onto existing games. Two metastrategies are introduced to analyze the game. Based on those metastrategies, a two-player normal form game is derived. Depending on parameter settings, this game can be mapped onto two well-studied games from the field of game theory, i.e. Prisoner’s Dilemma and Stag Hunt. By introducing a third metastrategy, ...

We use the self-tuning Experience Weighted Attraction model with repeated-game strategies as a computer testbed to examine the relative frequency, speed of convergence and progression of a set of repeated-game strategies in four symmetric 2 × 2 games: Prisoner's Dilemma, Battle of the Sexes, Stag-Hunt, and Chicken. In the Prisoner's Dilemma game, we find that the strategy with the most occurren...

We consider the Stag Hunt in terms of Maynard Smith’s famous Haystack model. In the Stag Hunt, contrary to the Prisoner’s Dilemma, there is a cooperative equilibrium besides the equilibrium where every player defects. This implies that in the Haystack model, where a population is partitioned into groups, groups playing the cooperative equilibrium tend to grow faster than those at the noncoopera...

We use experiments to study coordination in games with incomplete information and ask whether an informed player can use cheap talk strategically. Two players decide whether to enter a market where stage game payoffs either form a prisoner’s dilemma or a stag-hunt. One player knows which stage game is played while the other knows only the associated probabilities. When players engage in a priso...

This paper presents a brief overview of the items materia medica harvested from male red deer [Cervus elephas]. The medicinal use stag's antlers and other body parts began in classical times with writings Dioscorides Pliny Elder, relied on legendary vitality, sexual prowess, strength, alexipharmic rejuvenative powers which animal was credited. In early modern wide range organs stags killed form...

Stag beetles, or Lucanidae (Insecta: Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea), are among the most charismatic groups of scarab beetles. However, their ecology and natural history largely unknown, partly due to rarity in field biological collections. This contribution summarizes status knowledge Colombian Lucanidae, based for part bibliographic research personal observations from fieldwork collections Colombi...
