Public goods games in populations with fluctuating size.

Theoretical population biology - 1 May 2018

McAvoy Alex, Fraiman Nicolas, Hauert Christoph, Wakeley John, Nowak Martin A

Abstract excerpt

Many mathematical frameworks of evolutionary game dynamics assume that the total population size is constant and that selection affects only the relative frequency of strategies. Here, we consider evolutionary game dynamics in an extended Wright-Fisher process with variable population size. In such a scenario, it is possible that the entire population becomes extinct. Survival of the population may depend on...
