| Abstract | Every behaviourally responsive animal (including us) makedecisions. These can be simple behavioural decisions such aswhere to feed, what to feed, how long to feed, decisions relatedto finding, choosing and competing for mates, or simplymaintaining one's territory. All these are conflict situationsbetween competing individuals, hence can be best understoodusing a game theory approach. Using some examples of classicalgames, we show how evolutionary game theory can helpunderstand behavioural decisions of animals. Game theory(along with its cousin, optimality theory) continues to providea strong conceptual and theoretical framework to ecologistsfor understanding the mechanisms by which species coexist. |
