4 Games appear on all levels For this reason, evolutionary game theory is ideally suited for modeling frequency-dependent selection. In general, game theoretic models are more manageable and tractable than their quantitative genetic counterparts. Brown & Vincent, 987 Emerging fields as diverse as metabolic control networks within cells and evolutionary psychology, for example, should benefit from game theory. The main themes of evolutionary psychology include cooperation and communication among individuals and are therefore intrinsically game theoretic. Nowak & Sigmund, An alternative to treating organisms as evolving in a fixed environment or fitness landscape is coevolution. In coevolution, organisms interact and their interactions drive each to evolve. Goldenfeld & Woese, 0 References

Three insets show x-ε x* fitness x+ε functions x-ε x* x+ε (continuous curves) generated by the ecological interactions at different points in time (indicated by horizontal dotted lines). Selection changes from directional to disruptive when investment evolution reaches x 0. The resource distribution K(x) has its maximum at x 0 and is x x+ε x* x x+ε shown for comparison (dashed curve). b, As in a, but with multilocus genetics for Attractor the ecological character and random mating.

The mating character m scaled to vary between (all alleles) and + (all þ alleles). Mating probabil vary with differences in either ecological or marker character, depending on scenario. If the mating character in the focal individual is close to +, it has a h probability of mating with similar individuals. If its mating character is close to is more likely to mate with dissimilar individuals. Intermediate mating charac - 0 R EPORTS

7 Some referee s comments But, given that the authors argue that mutations mimick exploration in a cultural context, then I find the model too restrictive, as here exploration is limited; it means re-injection of more of the same (at most) 4-types of players. For large mutation rates, this becomes kin to random choice within a very limited set of options. 3rd referee, 008 Reducing EGT to analyzing "predefined" strategies is like saying: Every possible species was created at the beginning and only those who survived the competition are left over and explain the species we see now... 3rd referee, 03 Most existing approaches to formulating evolutionary dynamics mathematically [...] share the limitation that the space in which evolution takes place is fixed. A bona fide game theory approach to evolution would allow the game rules themselves to change as a function of the state of the players and their intrinsic dynamics. Goldenfeld & Woese, 0 7

9 Game theoretical models of many alleles? Usual assumptions in population genetics Mutations have a fixed fitness advantage They arise with a certain mutation rate Mutations either compete with each other or reach fixation sequentially Evolutionary game dynamics The fitness of mutations depends on type and on the abundance of other types Fixed fitness is a particular special case 9 The dynamics is comparable to population genetics

32 Another modeling approach Add random number to the column and the line of the new mutant strategy This game has the property of equal gains from switching (a+d=b+c) and thus does not allow coexistences In this case, only increase or decrease of fitness can be addressed based on the payoff distributions 3 Nowak & Sigmund, Acta Appl.
