Game-theoretic models provide a rigorous mathematical modelling framework, but tractability considerations keep them simple. In contrast, Evolutionary Simulation Models (ESMs) may be complex, but can lack rigour. We demonstrate that careful synthesis of the two techniques provides improved insights into the processes underlying the evolution of cooperative signalling systems.
