Consider two strategies, Care and Desert, in terms of Parental Care.
The fitness to each sex,
when two parents care = t
when a single parent care = s
when no parent cares = n
t >= s > n
By deserting, extra fitness for
Male = m
Female =f
1a) Write a single payoff matrix that shows the payoffs to each sex for all possible outcomes between the two different types of each sex.
1b) Using numerical values, explore this model and by plotting the frequency of the 2 strategies for each sex, show a set of parameter values for t,s,n,m,f that will define the ESS for each of,
a) Biparental care
b) Male cares, female deserts
c) Female cares, male deserts
d) No parental care
You will therefore have 4 plots and 4 sets of parameter values. Each plot must be clearly labeled, indicating what is what. Write a 3-5 sentence comment/interpretation of the results.
