In it, Maynard Smith summarises work on evolutionary game theory that had developed in the 1970s, to which he made several important contributions. The book is also noted for being well written and not overly mathematically challenging. The main contribution to be had from this book is the introduction of the Evolutionarily Stable Strategy , or ESS, concept, which states that for a set of behaviours to be conserved over evolutionary time, they must be the most profitable avenue of action when common, so that no alternative behaviour can invade. So, for instance, suppose that in a population of frogs, males fight to the death over breeding ponds. This would be an ESS if any one cowardly frog that does not fight to the death always fares worse in fitness terms, of course . A more likely scenario is one where fighting to the death is not an ESS because a frog might arise that will stop fighting if it realises that it is going to lose. This frog would then reap the benefits of fighting, but not the ultimate cost. Hence, fighting to the death would easily be invaded by a mutation that causes this sort of informed fighting. Much complexity can be built ... Books about evolution Category Game theory Category Evolutionary game theory Category Mathematics books Evolution stub Gametheory stub ...

The nearly neutral theory of molecular evolution is a modification of the neutral theory of molecular evolution that accounts for slightly advantageous or deleterious mutation s at the molecular level. The nearly neutral theory was proposed by Tomoko Ohta in 1973 ref name Ohta 1973 Cite journal doi 10.1038 246096a0 volume 246 issue 5428 pages 96 98 last Ohta first Tomoko title Slightly Deleterious Mutant Substitutions in Evolution journal Nature date 1973 11 09 pmid 4585855 ref including only deleterious mutations and expanded in the early 1990s to include both advantageous and deleterious nearly neutral mutations. Unlike in Motoo Kimura s original neutral theory&mdash which dealt only with mutations unaffected by natural selection &mdash the nearly neutral theory predicts a relationship between population size and the rate of molecular evolution in larger populations, genetic drift , which can bring even slightly deleterious mutations to Fixation population genetics fixation , is a weaker force, so evolution happens more slowly than in smaller populations .

T theory is a branch of discrete mathematics dealing with analysis of tree graph theory tree s and discrete metric spaces . General history As per Andreas Dress , T theory originated from a question raised by Manfred Eigen , a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry , in the late seventies. He was trying to fit twenty distinct transfer RNA t RNA molecule s of the Escherichia coli E. Coli bacterium into a tree. One of the most important concepts of T theory is the tight span of a metric space. If X is a metric space, the tight span T X of X is, up to isomorphism, the unique minimal injective metric space that contains X . John Isbell was the first to discover the tight span in 1964, which he called the injective envelope . Dress independently constructed the same construct, which he called the tight span. Application areas Phylogenetic analysis, which is used to create phylogenetic tree s. Online algorithm s k server problem k server problem Recent developments Bernd Sturmfels , Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley Berkeley , and Josephine Yu classified six point metrics using T theory.

Emergent evolution is the hypothesis that, in the course of evolution , some entirely new properties, such as life and consciousness , appear at certain critical points, usually because of an unpredictable rearrangement of the already existing entities. The concept has influenced the development of systems theory and complexity theory . Historical context The word emergence emergent was first used to describe the concept by George Lewes in volume two of his 1875 book Problems of Life and Mind p. 412 . Henri Bergson covered similar themes in the popular book Creative Evolution book Creative Evolution in 1907. It was further developed by Samuel Alexander in his Gifford Lectures at University of Glasgow Glasgow during 1916 18 and published as Space, Time, and Deity 1920 . The term emergent evolution was coined by C. Lloyd Morgan in his own Gifford lectures of 1921 22 at University of St. Andrews St. Andrews and published as Emergent Evolution 1923 . In an appendix to one lecture in his book, Morgan acknowledged the contributions of Roy Wood Sellars Evolutionary Naturalism 1922 .

The evolution of dominance concerns the evolution of genetic dominance . The central argument, that modifier gene s act upon other genes to make them dominant or recessive, and that these are then themselves subject to natural selection was first proposed by the British population geneticist Ronald Fisher in 1928 ref Fisher, R.A. 1928. http digital.library.adelaide.edu.au coll special fisher 68.pdf The possible modification of the response of the wild type to recurrent mutations . Am. Nat., 62 115 126. ref , and expanded upon in his book The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection ref Fisher, R.A. 1930. The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection , Clarendon Press, Oxford ref . However, Sewall Wright and J.B.S. Haldane believed that the main explanation for dominance should be based on physiological factors, and that selection for modifiers was not a primary force. This led to a major fallout between Fisher and Wright. Subsequent works, particularly in molecular biology and biochemistry , have tended to favour Wright s view without completely excluding that the Fisherian argument may, in some circumstances, apply.
