Abstract

an evolutionarily stable strategy (ess) may apply to characters expressed across species for predation and feeding, because these characters are conservative. however, the evolution of complex, polymorphic behaviors is more difficult to define as an ess. lateralization may be selective for certain simple traits, but lateralization of complex traits is likely the result of coadaptation of otherwise non-lateralized features.
