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 …

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 …

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 …

The two conditions for stability of an evolutionary equilibrium, the m-stability and the δ-
stability conditions, are discussed. The m-stability condition is a condition for 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 …

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 …

When natural selection acts on several different alternative behaviors, the most optimal
should be favored. If costs and benefits of alternatives depend on choices made by other …

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

Evolutionary game theory is extended to models of two-species interactions where fitnesses
are based on individual characteristics (strategies) rather than on a population dynamic that …
