An evolutionary stable strategy is individual behaviour that, when scaled to the population-level, means that population is relatively stable. As long as the outside environment remains in a steady stable-state(of an ecosystem) where free surplus energy is minimised, where there is maximum entropy production and minimum waste. In such a system, there is expected to be relatively small fluctuations in atmospheric and other chemistry and where disruption or disturbance occurs, the resulting changes can be absorbed quickly by a succession of new plants and animals that enter to fill More, evolutionary stable strategies result in no net loss or gain in the species’ status. A species that exhibits these traits is expected to survive longest.
