This paper is intended to reconcile the two most widely used approaches to quantitative
evolutionary theory: exact population genetic analysis and purely phenotypic analysis …

Game theory has a prominent role in evolutionary biology, in particular in the ecological
study of various phenomena ranging from conflict behaviour to altruism to signalling and …

Selection is often viewed as a process that maximizes the average fitness of a population.
However, there are often constraints even on the phenotypic level which may prevent fitness …

A connected component of Nash equilibria is (dynamically) potentially stable if there exits an
evolutionary selection dynamics from a broad class for which the component is …

The relation of a single species population to a limiting resource (food) is considered. A
notion of optimal consumption is defined whereby an average individual minimizes the net …

A number of scholars have recently defended the claim that there is a close connection
between the evolutionary biological notion of fitness and the economic notion of utility: both …

The properties of selection restricted by single and multiple constraints are examined by
using the Lagrange and Kuhn-Tucker conditions of calculus. We show for a general set of …

Continuous-trait game theory fills the niche of enabling analytically solvable models of the
evolution of biologically realistically complex traits. Game theory provides a mathematical …

A proof is presented to show that, when fitnesses from alternative tactics within a population
depend on both their frequency and the phenotypic condition of individuals, there will be a …
