ch. In this case, cooperation yields the higher payoff only when one's partner also cooperates. The Hawk-Dove game (May- nard Smith and Price, 1973; Maynard Smith, 1978) represents the fourth kind, in which having a different behavior than one's partner produces a higher payoff. Doves cooperate by sharing res

We introduce a two-player survival game which can fall into any of these four classes. It may also change, for example from a Hawk-Dove g

). Evolutionary game theory was introduced by John Maynard Smith in order to explore the evolution of animal behavior (Maynard Smith Si Price 1973, Maynard Smith 1982, Houston & McNamara 1999, McNamara et al 1999, Bshary et al 2008). In the meanwhile, evolutionary game theory has been used in many areas of b

e or her behavior imitated or reinforced, causing the behavior to spread. This intuition is formalized using mod- els of evolutionary dynamics (e.g., Nowak, 2006). The key result for evolutionary dynamic models is that, except under extreme conditions, behavior converges to Nash equilibria. This result

incumbency does not provide a defensive advantage and even when facing a more formidable intruder. Over the years, evi- dence has amassed to support Maynard Smith’s explanation, such as experimental manipulation of which animal arrives first (Davies, 1978; Sigg & Falett, 1985). Like other animals, we condition h
