The NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) held at the Universite de Montreal, Montreal, August 3-21, 1987, was an opportunity to review most of the classical approaches and to study the more recent developments. The participation of theoretical biologists and geneticists as well as applied mathematicians and statisticians made possible exchanges of ideas between students and scholars having different views on the subject. These Proceedings contain the lecture notes of seven (7) of the eleven (11) series of lectures that were given. ESS (Evolutionarily Stable Stragety) theory is considered from many perspectives, from a game-theoretic approach to understanding behavior and evolution (W.G.S. Hines), and a systematic classification of properties and patterns of ESS's (C. Cannings) to particular applications of the differential geometry of the Shahshahani metric (E. Akin). Extensions of ESS theory to sexual populations and finite populations, not to mention games between relatives, are presented (W.G.S. Hines). Special attention is given to the classical game called the War of Attrition but with n players and random rewards (C. Cannings). The Shahshahani metric is also used to show the occurrence of cycling in the two-locus, two-allele model (E. Akin). Various inference problems in population genetics are adressed. Procedures to detect and measure selection components and polymorphism (in particular, the Wahlund effect) at one or several loci from mother-offspring combinations in natural populations are discussed at length (F.B. Christiansen). The sampling theory of neutral alleles and the new retrospective theory in population genetics (as opposed to the classical prospective theory) are presented: the Ewens sampling formula and tests for neutrality, Kingman coalescent processes and procedures to determine the age of alleles in a sample or in the entire population (W. Ewens). Topics in evolutionary ecology include coevolution of virulence and resistance in host parasite and plant-herbivore systems and the effects of varying environments on dispersal and dormancy strategies. There is also a discussion of evolution as an optimization process (S. Levin and C. Castillo-Chavez). Finally, evolution in sex-differentiated selection models is studied with regard to the population sex ratio. The validity of a product maximization principle in Mendelian populations with two sexes is discussed (S. Lessard). The four series of lectures not reported in the Proceedings dealt with other major aspects of the subject: quantitative genetics and multifactorial inheritance, including mutation-selection balance (S. Karlin), molecular biology and DNA sequences, in particular the evolution of multigene families (T. Ohta-Harada), kin selection theory and vii viii PREFACE the evolution of social behaviors (C. Matessi), and phylogenic trees and the differentiation of species (D. Sanlcoff). Nine special lectures on related topics were also given by R. Chakrabarty, P. Donelly, J. Haigh, K. Holsinger, C. Lefevre, D. Pierre-Loti-Viaud, Z. Taib, E. Thompson, M. Uyenoyama. My sincere thanks to all lecturers and all participants for their contribution. I also wish to thank the members of the Organizing Commitee, especially Aubert Daigneault, director of the ASI, Ghislaine David, secretary of the ASI, Gert Sabidussi, technical editor of the Proceedings, and Lise PerreaUlt, who typed the manuscript. The credit for the success of the ASI must be given to all. The ASI was made possible by financial support from NATO, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Ministere de l'education du Quebec and the Universite de Montreal. Special thanks for their efforts on behalf of the ASI are due to the NATO Scientific Affairs Division, in particular to Dr. Craig Sinclair, then Director of the ASI program.
