BIO150Y: Evolution of Cooperation | Evolutionary Game |
Introduction
Background to your experiments
What is an Evolutionary Prisoner's Dilemma Game? Populations are composed of individuals who use different strategies in social interactions. If the success of a strategy in the game results in more individuals using that strategy in the next generation, then the composition of strategies in a population will change through time -- thus we can expect the evolution of strategies.
