If two behavioral strategies are said to be at a mixed ESS, it means that the two strategies are equal in their frequencies are subject to negative frquency dependent selection have different fitness are subject to positive frequency dependent selection

Step 1
This means that the strategies are equally fit, and neither strategy can invade the population if it is already present. Show more…

Why do Type I functional responses typically lead to mutual extinction and types II and III to a stable point?

If alternative male mating strategies are maintained by frequency-dependent selection: (a) the fitness of the strategies must be equal over the long term (b) the fitness of the strategies must be equal in each generation (c) the fitness of the strategies must be unequal (d) none of the above You observe male red deer engaging in contest behavior. The bout starts with parallel walking, where the deer walk side by side and appear to size each other up. In some cases, males then lock antlers. In a few cases, males then begin violent jump clashes that often result in injury. This type of contest behavior is consistent with _____; contests are expected to reach the latter stages when _____. (a) the sequential assessment model; individuals are more evenly matched (b) the sequential assessment model; individuals are less evenly matched (b) the sequential assessment model; individuals are less evenly matched (d) the war of attrition model; individuals are evenly matched

Based on the diagram below, what is the expected outcome of the competition between species 1 (dashed line) and species 2 (solid line)? Competitive exclusion of one of the species, but which is difficult to determine. Stable equilibrium regardless of initial abundances.
