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

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
