HEA STEM 2014 Understanding evolutionarily stable strategies: interactive games in the classroom Catherine Dennis

Evolutionarily Stable Strategy? ‘A strategy which, if adopted by a population in a given environment, cannot be invaded by any alternative strategy that is initially rare.’

Pure ESS One strategy adopted by all animals

Mixed ESS Frequency dependent

Aim John Maynard Smith (1973)

Hawk Dove Game

Fight – win or be injured Win Retreat Negotiate peacefully HAWKDOVE HAWK DOVE

Hawk Dove Game Fight – win or be injured Win Retreat Negotiate peacefully HAWKDOVE HAWK DOVE

Hawk Dove Game Victory - Cost 2 Victory 0 2 HAWKDOVE HAWK DOVE

To play the game: Victory = 50 points, Cost = -100 points Victory = 50 points, Cost = 0 50 points 0 points Hawk Dove Game

To play the game: Victory = 50 points, Cost = -100 points Victory = 50 points, Cost = 0 50 points 0 points 10 rounds Hawk Dove Game

V - C 2 V 0 V2V2 HAWKDOVE HAWK DOVE

Benefits Not entirely equation focussed Play both strategies – one species! Evolutionary nature of the game emphasised ACTIVE

Limitations Some students still fail to grasp concept However….. …..they remember game theory ….. all appear to be comfortable with the concept by Level 4
