This class is Bios 340 (Animal Behavior). It is an elective class for the Biology major.

 

This lab was a simulation on the evolution of honest signaling. When animals are involved in contests with a rival, the winner is usually the one who has a better overall physical condition or is more experience in such contests. This phenomenon is known as Resource Holding Potential.

 

To model this in the lab, students first competed against each other with bags of cotton swabs. They didn’t know how many cotton swabs the other rival had as they competed for a territory (shoebox) of varying qualities (A, B, C –with A being the best). The game was if a territory was challenged, the rival had to in sequential order place out a cotton swab on the table with the territory holder. Each had to assess how long they wanted to stay in the game based on what they had in their bags. If one felt that s/he was going to lose (run out of cotton swabs), then they would leave the table and the other individual would “win” the territory.

 

In the second version of this game, the students had bags of coins that they would shake at each other. This way the opponent could ‘size’ up the rival to see if it was worth it to “fight” for that territory.

 

Goals of this game:

1) To recognize the potential ultimate benefits of signaling competitive ability to prospective rivals in contests over resources.

2) To realize that strategies for winning become even more important as one can honestly “size up” an opponent. This is what happens in nature all the time.

 

In this game, students naturally adapt their own strategies for winning—especially when they use coins to signal “strength” for territories. For examples, some students will put keys in their bags to add “noise” while others will shake the bags slightly (to throw off rivals as to how much is actually in their bags). Some students do the waiting game and will swoop into a territory after a recent contest to try to deplete the resources of the current territory owner.
