Game Theory in Biology: Moving beyond Functional Accounts by McNamara, John M

“…AbstractThe idea of applying game theory to problems in biology was given a formal basis nearly 50 years ago. Since then, the theory has advanced, and there…”

Game theory in biology: 50 years and onwards by Leimar, Olof, McNamara, John M

“…Game theory in biology gained prominence 50 years ago, when Maynard Smith & Price formulated the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS). Their aim…”

Towards a richer evolutionary game theory by McNamara, John M.

“…Most examples of the application of evolutionary game theory to problems in biology involve highly simplified models. I contend that it is time to move on and…”

On the Evolution of Personalities via Frequency-Dependent Selection by Wolf, Max, McNamara, John M.

“…Personality differences can be found in a wide range of species across the animal kingdom, but why natural selection gave rise to such differences remains an…”

Towards an Evolutionary Theory of Stress Responses by Taborsky, Barbara, English, Sinead, Fawcett, Tim W., Kuijper, Bram, Leimar, Olof, McNamara, John M., Ruuskanen, Suvi, Sandi, Carmen

Learning, exploitation and bias in games by McNamara, John M, Houston, Alasdair I, Leimar, Olof

“…We focus on learning during development in a group of individuals that play a competitive game with each other. The game has two actions and there is negative…”

Behavioural flexibility and reputation formation by McNamara, John M, Barta, Zoltan

“…Limited flexibility in behaviour gives rise to behavioural consistency, so that past behaviour is partially predictive of current behaviour. The consequences…”

A general framework for modelling trade‐offs in adaptive behaviour by Houston, Alasdair I., Fromhage, Lutz, McNamara, John M.

“…ABSTRACT An animal's behaviour can influence many variables, such as its energy reserves, its risk of injury or mortality, and its rate of reproduction. To…”

Learning leads to bounded rationality and the evolution of cognitive bias in public goods games by Leimar, Olof, McNamara, John M.

“…In social interactions, including cooperation and conflict, individuals can adjust their behaviour over the shorter term through learning within a generation,…”

Detection vs. selection: integration of genetic, epigenetic and environmental cues in fluctuating environments by McNamara, John M., Dall, Sasha R. X., Hammerstein, Peter, Leimar, Olof

“…There are many inputs during development that influence an organism's fit to current or upcoming environments. These include genetic effects, transgenerational…”

Variation and the response to variation as a basis for successful cooperation by McNamara, John M., Leimar, Olof

“…In applying game theory to problems in biology, differences between individuals are often ignored. In particular, when analysing the evolution of cooperation…”

Sexual conflict over parental care promotes the evolution of sex differences in care and the ability to care by McNamara, John M., Wolf, Max

“…Strong asymmetries in parental care, with one sex providing more care than the other, are widespread across the animal kingdom. At present, two factors are…”
