In this paper we outline a simple model of spatially structured populations that is an extension of the replicator dynamics approach used in evolutionary game theory. Using this model, we are able to investigate issues such as how the degree of spatial localisation affects the evolution of cooperative and selfish genotypes in a resource sharing scenario.
