Abstract
Chapter 2 emphasized the dynamic consequences of the original ESS theory that Maynard Smith (1974; 1982) developed to explain the observed frequency evolution of behavioral types in a single species. At the same time, the presentation provided a foundation from which to generalize evolutionary game theory to other biological systems. This and the following two chapters examine extensions of the original theory. By the end of Chapter 5, I expect all readers to appreciate both the power of ESS theory in these particular biological settings and the enormous potential of game-theoretic reasoning in general evolutionary processes.
