The interplay of trophic interactions and game dynamics gives rise to life-history trade-offs, consistent personalities, and predator–prey and aggression power laws by Mohammad Salahshour

“…To illustrate this, we combine trophic interactions with evolutionary games by allowing individuals to play a game within the population where they can adopt aggressive or non-aggressive strategies. We show that individuals develop consistent personalities and their life-history trade-offs become intertwined with the scale-invariant ecological dynamics. …”
