Recently, a “one-third law” of evolutionary dynamics has been described, which states that strategy A fixates in a B-population with selective advantage if the fitness of A is greater than that of B when A has frequency 1/3. This relationship holds for all evolutionary processes examined so far, from the Moran process to games on graphs. However, the origin of the “number” 1/3 is not understood. In this paper we provide an intuitive explanation by studying the underlying stochastic processes. We find that in one invasion attempt, an individual interacts on average with B-players twice as often as with A-players, which yields the one-third law. We also show that the one-third law implies that the average Malthusian fitness of A is positive.}, pages = {289--295}, title = {The one-third law of evolutionary dynamics}, volume = {249}, year = {2007} }
