Abstract
The concepts of evolutionary stable strategies (ESS) and neighborhood invader strategies (NIS) are used to examine the dynamics of coevolving species. When an ESS as well as its near neighbors are ecologically stable and phenotypic space is unconstrained, the strong NIS concept shows that each member of the ESS coalition can always be repelled by some coalition strategies that are sufficiently close to the ESS. Thus an ESS for coevolving species may not be attained by selection unless phenotypic constraints are imposed.
