Any case of sexual selection, particularly that in birds and other
monogamous species in which both parties are choosing a mate
for life based on advertised qualities. The game theoretic
analysis of this situation in biological nature is entirely
parallel to the game theoretic analysis of a conscious human
choosing an insurance policy and an insurance company choosing
a client.

And don't ask me again for more details. All of this is out
there in the literature and on the web. Look it up!
