Conflicts between animals of the same species usually are of “limited war” type, not causing
serious injury. This is often explained as due to group or species selection for behaviour …

The evolution of behaviour patterns used in animal conflicts is discussed, using models
based on the theory of games. The paper extends arguments used by Maynard Smith & Price (…

I want in this article to trace the history of an idea. It is beginning to become clear that a range

During evolution, there have been several major changes in the way that genetic information
is organized and transmitted from one generation to the next. These transitions include the …

When a selectively favourable gene substitution occurs in a population, changes in gene
frequencies will occur at closely linked loci. In the case of a neutral polymorphism, average …
