John Maynard-Smith
A
Game Theory and Evolutionarily Stable Strategies (ESS) Models:
Maynard-Smith formalized models of interactive behavior in animal contests based on game theory (“Nash equilibrium”)
Contrast with optimality models
‘ESS’ models - interactive behavior of two opponents

- Fitness payoffs depend on probability of others’ behavior
Frequency-dependent selection
-Fitness depends on how often strategy is encountered
