We develop a model of strategic predator-prey interaction in which the latter has a certain range of actions available whose cost is inversely correlated with escape ability ("quality"). Under the assumption that each herd of prey is generated by random independent draws from the whole population, w

There is a breeding season of "nite length during which it is possible to produce and raise several batches of o!spring. On deserting its o!spring, an individual can search for a new mate. T
## Abstract Consider a distributed system where many gatekeepers share a single server. Customers arrive at each gatekeeper according to independent Poisson processes with different rates. Upon arrival of a new customer, the gatekeeper has to decide whether to admit the customer by sending it to th
The persistence of linear dominance hierarchies is often attributed to higher probabilities of a win after a win or a loss after a loss in agonistic interactions, yet there has been no theory on the evolution of such prior-experience effects. Here an analytic model, based on the idea that contests a
