Game Theory and Animal Behavior

Lee Alan Dugatkin, Hudson Kern Reeve
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 apr 2000
This will be the first book since 1982 dedicated to ethological game theory models, despite the fact that game theory has played a major role in reshaping the study of animal behavior over the past thirty years. The editors and chapter authors are well chosen to give an authoritative and widely accessible overview of the advances in the area.

Recenzii

an authoritative and widely accessible overview of the advances in this area
Describes many interesting examples of animal behaviour, including games between foraging producers and scroungers, reciprocal grooming in impala, territorial defence by birds and spiders, animal communication, parent-offspring conflict, and colony founding by ants. There are many accounts of experimental tests of game theory models, along with clear discussions of the limitations of the game theory approach. The quality of writing (often a problem in edited volumes) is uniformly good. The chapter by R. Gomulkiewicz is especially important, because it connects game theory, other optimization methods, and quantitative genetics with a focus on an empirical strategy for detecting adaptation and constraint. --Nature
The book is a worthwhile addition to graduate collections and some undergraduate collections emphasizing behavioral ecology, as most chapters are sufficiently general to be of use for a longer time than the typical symposium volume.--Choice
