The principles of game theory apply to a wide range of topics in
biology. This book presents the central concepts in evolutionary
game theory and provides an authoritative and up-to-date account.
The focus is on concepts that are important for biologists in their
attempts to explain observations. This strong connection between
concepts and applications is a recurrent theme throughout the book
which incorporates recent and traditional ideas from animal
psychology, neuroscience, and machine learning that provide a
mechanistic basis for behaviours shown by players of a game. The
approaches taken to modelling games often rest on idealized and
unrealistic assumptions whose limitations and consequences are not
always appreciated. The authors provide a novel reassessment of the
field, highlighting how to overcome limitations and identifying
future directions. Game Theory in Biology is an advanced textbook
suitable for graduate level students as well as professional
researchers (both empiricists and theoreticians) in the fields of
behavioural ecology and evolutionary biology. It will also be of
relevance to a broader interdisciplinary audience including
psychologists and neuroscientists.
