Moran Process

Note: These are not designed to be student facing.

I make these notes available with the intent of making it easier to plan and/or take notes from class.

Student facing resources for each topic are all available at vknight.org/gt/.

Activity (20 Minutes)

Tell half the class they are doves and half the class they are hawks.

Ask for 3 doves to be my population and now ask for one hawk to come in.

Use the Hawk Dove Game https://vknight.org/gtb/main-1/#GdSxfAnodr to run a moran process, telling individuals there are now dead and replaced with another individual of the given type (use a dice).

Stop when entire population is of one type.

Discussion (20 Minutes)

Work through the Moran Process chapter.

Discussion Point: After the definition of the moran process, ask how this differs from our example?

Discussion Point: After the definition of fixation probability, ask what the fixation probability of a hawk is based on our simulation?

Discussion Point: After the theoretic fixation in two types ask how this could be used for our example? Leave this as an exercise.
