right and left jaw fish
what assumptions are made for ESS?
Infinite population
Asexual reproduction
all strategies are specified
either pairwise contest occur or one individual competes against a group
possible behaviors associated with evolution of display?
display
fight but risk injury
retreat
what is pure ESS?
when they are all hawks or all doves. Usually when V resource is greater than cost
what does frequency dependence mean?
It means fitness depends on strategy frequancy
what is a mechanism for Mixed ESS?
stable strategy set in which a single individual sometimes performs one strategy and sometimes another with the probability p.
what does stable polymorphic state
in which a fraction p of the population adopts one strategy and the remainder 1-p adopts another.
