Is the Predicted ESS in the Sequential Assessment Game Evolvable?
Winfried Just and Xiaolu Sun
Department of Mathematics, Ohio University, Athens, OH 45701, U.S.A.Abstract. The Sequential Assessment Game model of animal contests predicts an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) that is a sequence of thresholds for giving up. Simulated evolution experiments reveal that the selection pressure on higher-numbered thresholds is most likely too low to allow for the theoretically predicted ESS to evolve in nature.
