20.500.12556/RUL-177410 Endogenous regulation of selection pressure a minimal game-theoretical model Selection pressure, determining which individuals survive and reproduce, is traditionally regarded as an exogenous property of the environment. However, growing evidence from the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) suggests that the strength of selection can, to some extent, be modulated by the organisms themselves. In this paper, we propose a minimal game-theoretical model that formalizes the concept of endogenous selection pressure. In the model, individuals collectively determine the intensity of selection through their actions: each agent ‘‘votes’’ to either intensify or relax selection depending on its relative fitness rank. The aggregate outcome of these decisions defines the number of reproducers, k, which is inversely related to the overall strength of selection. We analytically derive all pure strategy Nash equilibria of the game and examine their properties. By internalizing selection as a population-level emergent variable, the framework provides a tractable formalization of key principles from the EES and offers a foundation for exploring evolutionary dynamics that arise under the presence of endogenous selection pressure. selection pressure game theory extended evolutionary synthesis self-adaptation selekcijski pritisk teorija iger razširjena evolucijska sinteza samoadaptacija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-12-23 08:09:59 2025-12-23 08:10:01 2026-06-16 04:04:26 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 7 str. art. 105666 Vol. 259 Jan. 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 004 0303-2647 10.1016/j.biosystems.2025.105666 262193923 1-s2.0-S030326472500276X-main.pdf 1-s2.0-S030326472500276X-main.pdf 1 0CCC3AE8446F1A39FB24546A07B8AF9A 06a89d031aba0fd86e4f0a6b2a7a0f7491d9f0c56a6634cffe7184af1523d390 659eeba0-68bb-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=235675 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030326472500276X 1 f23e3f08-dfcd-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=224453 Fakulteta za računalništvo in informatiko 0 0 0
