Since its pioneering proposal by Maynard Smith and Price, the concept of an'evolutionarily
stable strategy'(ESS) has been invaluable to evolutionary thinking. We identify several …

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

Originally coined by Maynard Smith and Price, the term evolutionarily stable strategy has
been adopted by a broad range of disciplines across the spectrum of natural and social …

With the rediscovery of Mendel's Laws at the turn of the century (100), the study of
evolutionary processes blossomed. Since then, the discipline of population genetics has …

Since the fitness of each individual organism in a biological community may be affected by
the strategies of all other individuals in the community, the essential element of a …

Explanations of the observed behaviors of individuals and species often rely on evolutionary
stable strategies (ESSs). Essentially, analysis of ESSs requires a description of the …

Evolutionary stable strategies (ESSs) are often used to explain the behaviors of individuals
and species. The analysis of ESSs determines which, if any, combinations of behaviors …

Different aspects and modifications of the definition of an evolutionarily stable (ES) strategy
that have been considered in the literature can be incorporated in a unifying concept which …

Dynamical attainability of an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) through the process of
mutations and natural selection has mostly been addressed through the use of the …

These Notes grew from my research in evolutionary biology, specifically on the theory of
evolutionarily stable strategies (ESS theory), over the past ten years. Personally …
