a) They are conservative by design
b) They are permissive by design
c) No one knows the proper degrees of freedom
d) None of the above

2. The addition of the Bourgeois (that can change between Hawk and Dove) class to the Hawks and Doves game does not change the actual stable strategy.
True or False

3. Reinforcement occurs along the boundary of hybrid zones.
True or False

4. The concept of the Evolutionary Stable Strategy was discussed and conceived of by John Nash.
True or False

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER 1

d none of the above

ANSWER 2

FALSE, as Bourgeois is a pure ESS, then it is reasonable to conclude that Bourgeois is a pure ESS versus a mix of Hawk and Dove since it can invade both and cannot be invaded by either. Thus, Bourgeois is stable against both Hawk and Dove.

ANSWER 3

FALSE, as hybrid zone is an area where mating occurs between members of two closely related species, producing viable offspring.

ANSWER 4

FALSE, as Evolutionarily stable strategies were defined and introduced by John Maynard Smith and George R. Price in a 1973. Evolutionarily stable strategies is a refinement of the Nash equilibrium.
