comment Are there predators evolved to eat puffer fish?
I'm curious if some predator evolved to be immune to the toxin. Is there some data on whether those species that pray on pufferfish evolved this way, or is that purely an accident of environment, as is the case with sharks - which decidedly did NOT evolve to deal with pufferfish?

comment Why is 'Grudger' an evolutionary stable strategy?
BTW, if you have even a single cheater (which due to random mutations you usually will end up with), "Grudgers and Suckers both have the same payoff" becomes false.

+1 for reducing my marriage to a for loop :)

That's when an animal hosts some photosynthetic symbiote, like algae.

comment What are some alternatives to Charles Darwin evolution except creationism?
I'm voting to close. There are seeds of a good question in here, but it needs to be edited to be much more precise both in wording, and what constitutes an acceptable answer.

@nico - the criteria is disprovability (falsifyedness), not provability. Anthro* string theory components are also unprovable, but doesn't stop them from being theories.
