Figure 7. An invasion simulation of Darwinian dynamics in the threshold PGG which is approximated by Inline graphic where Inline graphic.

Figure 7

(Upper-left) Evolution of the frequencies of the ESS and the invader strategy starting from Inline graphic and Inline graphic respectively. (Upper-right) Evolution of the ESS and the invader strategy starting from Inline graphic and Inline graphic and ending up with the former evolving to the latter. (Lower) Evolution of the adaptive landscape and the two strategies: Inline graphic (i.e., before the invasion happens), Inline graphic is the global maximum; Inline graphic (i.e., the invasion happens), the adaptive landscape is elevated with Inline graphic being the global minimum and Inline graphic being the local maximum; Inline graphic, the “ESS” climbs up towards the invader strategy with the latter keeping sitting at the local maximum of the reshaped adaptive landscape; Inline graphic, the “ESS” coincides with Inline graphic and reaches the top of the reshaped adaptive landscape, which means the success of the invader strategy and the failure of the “ESS”. Parameters: Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic.
