Evolutionary game theory and the adaptive dynamics approach have made invaluable
contributions to understanding how gradual evolution leads to adaptation when individuals …

Evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) analysis pioneered by Maynard Smith and Price took off
in part because it often does not require explicit assumptions about the genetics and …

Samir Okasha approaches evolutionary biology from a philosophical perspective in Agents
and Goals in Evolution, analysing a mode of thinking in biology called agential thinking. He …

What kind of preferences should one expect evolution to favor? We propose a definition of
evolutionary stability of preferences in interactions in groups of arbitrary finite size. Groups …

There have been periodic claims that evolutionary biology needs urgent reform, and this
article tries to account for the volume and persistence of this discontent. It is argued that a …

How should fitness be measured to determine which phenotype or “strategy” is uninvadable
when evolution occurs in a group‐structured population subject to local demographic and …

The literature on the evolution of preferences of individuals in strategic interactions is vast
and diverse. We organize the discussion around the following question: Supposing that …

The evolutionary stability of quantitative traits depends on whether a population can resist
invasion by any mutant. While uninvadability is well understood in well-mixed populations, it …

Inclusive fitness has been the cornerstone of social evolution theory for more than a half-
century and has matured as a mathematical theory in the past 20 years. Yet surprisingly for a …

We model game-theoretic situations in which agents motivated by Kantian ethics interact
with conventional Nashian agents. We define the concept of generalized Kant–Nash …
