From: Plastic behaviors in hosts promote the emergence of retaliatory parasites
Game tree for the host-parasite interaction in the minimalistic model.
The host lays bh eggs in a clutch which can become parasitized with a single egg. The hosts fitness may be reduced by cp (when the host is parasitized), by cn (when the parasite's nestling is raised) and by cr (when the host is forced to re-clutch). The parasite gains the accepted egg, bp.
