  1. Different animals in a population may exhibit different behaviors; these                can be analyzed by game theory models that treat individuals as pursuing different strategies.
     
     
  2. An example is the producers -             game: some payoffs may yield a population of individuals with different personalities.
     
     
  3. One possible personality trait is boldness -          , as reflected in the tendency to take risks.
     
     
  4. Risk-taking behavior such as predator inspection involves tradeoffs between        and benefits for the individual.
