Covering the major topics of evolutionary game theory, Game-Theoretical Models in Biology,
Second Edition presents both abstract and practical mathematical models of real biological …

Infectious diseases, ideas, new products, and other infectants spread in epidemic fashion
through social contact. The COVID-19 pandemic, the proliferation of fake news, and the rise …

This article verifies that the ideal free distribution (IFD) is evolutionarily stable, provided the
payoff in each patch decreases with an increasing number of individuals. General frequency …

Evolutionary Community Ecology develops a unified framework for understanding the
structure of ecological communities and the dynamics of natural selection that shape the …

The role of habitat choice behavior in the dynamics of predator-prey systems is explored
using simple mathematical models. The models assume a three-species food chain in which …

The ideal free distribution (IFD) theory is one of the most influential theories in evolutionary
ecology. It predicts how animals ought to distribute themselves within a heterogeneous …

A comprehensive framework for understanding species coexistence Coexistence is the
central concept in community ecology, but an understanding of this concept requires that we …

We examine the evolutionary stability of strategies for dispersal in heterogeneous patchy
environments or for switching between discrete states (eg. defended and undefended) in the …

We consider a population living in a patchy environment that varies stochastically in space
and time. The population is composed of two morphs (that is, individuals of the same …
