Beginners in life history theory or evol-utionary ecology seemingly face a variety of almost
unrelated approaches. Yet the biomathematical fiterature of the last 1 O-20 years reflects the …

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

Every form of behaviour is shaped by trial and error. Such stepwise adaptation can occur
through individual learning or through natural selection, the basis of evolution. Since the …

We present a general framework for modelling adaptive trait dynamics in which we integrate
various concepts and techniques from modern ESS-theory. The concept of evolutionarily …

In this paper we develop a dynamical theory of coevolution in ecological communities. The
derivation explicitly accounts for the stochastic components of evolutionary change and is …

Over the past 30 years, one of the most rapidly expanding areas in ecology has been the
development of structured population models, where individuals have attributes such as …

Various approaches have been developed to evaluate the consequences of spatial structure
on evolution in subdivided populations. This book is both a review and new synthesis of …

The principles of game theory apply to a wide range of topics in biology. This book presents
the central concepts in evolutionary game theory and provides an authoritative and up-to …

We present models of adaptive change in continuous traits for the following situations:(1)
adaptation of a single trait within a single population in which the fitness of a given individual …

The two conditions for stability of an evolutionary equilibrium, the m-stability and the δ-
stability conditions, are discussed. The m-stability condition is a condition for the …
