....to be a combination of traditional analytical models and individual based computer simulations, in which factors such as space, discreteness of individuals, and noise can be included naturally. As an example of particularly non intuitive ecological e ects, we may consider the model introduced by Di Paolo (2000), in which the evolution of altruism in an action response game is studied via a series of analytical and simulation approaches. Action response games (e.g. Hurd, 1995) are fairly general models of social interaction which include signalling behaviour as a spe cial case. The evolution of ....
....1995) are fairly general models of social interaction which include signalling behaviour as a spe cial case. The evolution of altruism in such games can, for instance, be equated to the evolution of honest signalling systems. 2. 1 An action response game As in other cases, the game proposed by Di Paolo (2000) starts by assuming a situation of con ict of interest between two actors. The game a ords various interpretations but a useful one from the communication point of view is the situation in which an animal ( rst player) has found a source of food and must decide (by choosing between two possible ....
