The stable population size is a dynamic equilibrium between mortality and fecundity. An increase of mortality caused by the spreading of Hawks can reduce the population size, even to extinction. a A plot of strategy frequencies.

In this case there are no mixed equilibria, Hawks outcompete Doves and the population size converges to \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\tilde{n}=1{,}400$$\end{document}
