Table 2.
Evolutionary stability criteria for pure strategies of either target type.
| strategy of type 1 individuals | strategy of type 2 individuals | stability criteria | biological effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| play always ωlow (plow=1) | play always ωlow (qlow=1) | never stable | |
| play always ωlow (plow=1) | play always ωmedium (qmedium=1) | never stable | |
| play always ωlow (plow=1) | play always ωhigh (qhigh=1) | ESS, if (type 1)< (type 1) and | type 2 leads; mixed groups move cohesively to target 2 |
| play always ωmedium (pmedium=1) | play always ωlow (qlow=1) | never stable | |
| play always ωmedium (pmedium=1) | play always ωmedium (qmedium=1) | ESS, if (type 1)>5 and (type2)>5 | equally shared decision; majority leads cohesive group |
| play always ωmedium (pmedium=1) | play always ωhigh (qhigh=1) | ESS, if (type 1)> (type 1); and (type 2)<5 | type 2 leads mixed groups towards target 2; some group fragmentation, thus, partial segregation |
| play always ωhigh (phigh=1) | play always ωlow (qlow=1) | ESS, if (type 2)< (type 2) and | type 1 leads; mixed groups move cohesively to target 1 |
| play always ωhigh (phigh=1) | play always ωmedium (qmedium=1) | ESS, if (type 2)> (type 2); and (type 1)<5 | type 1 leads mixed groups towards target 1; some group fragmentation, thus, partial segregation |
| play always ωhigh (phigh=1) | play always ωhigh (qhigh=1) | ESS, if (type1)<1 and (type 2)<1 | complete segregation of the two types |
