Abstract.

We study the resident-invader dynamics for a given class of models of unstructured populations of finite-dimensional strategies. We prove various results on the existence and uniqueness of ω-limit sets in the interior of the resident-invader population state space, and we classify the generically possible types of dynamics in terms of the invasion conditions when the resident and invader strategies are similar to one another.
