Evolution of heterogeneous perceptual limits and indifference in competitive foraging
Fig 1
Schematic of the interaction between patch selection and the evolution of sensitivity threshold as a multilevel game.
On the lower level game, agents select between patches with differing total resources. Each agent seeks to select the patch with greater reward, but is limited by their individual sensitivity threshold. In the upper-level game agents reproduce according to a fitness function determined by their patch-selection rewards and the cost of their sensitivity threshold.
