In the present paper, the authors consider the existence and properties of positive solutions to the Cauchy problem associated to the nonlocal parabolic equation \[ \partial_t u = u\Delta u + u\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}|\nabla u|^2 dx. \] Such equations arise when modeling ``the evolution of the density distribution of frequencies with which different strategies are pursued in a population obeying the rules of replicator dynamics in a continuous infinite dimensional setting.'' As their first result, the authors establish existence of global positive classical solutions which for all times remain probability measures if \(u_0\in C(\mathbb{R}^n)\cap L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^n)\) for some \(p\in(0,1)\) with \(\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}u_0 dx=1\). The main result of the paper consists in ``revealing a dependence of the large time behavior of these solutions on the spatial decay of the initial data.'' In particular it is shown that the function \[\mathcal{E}(t):=\int_0^t\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}|\nabla u(x,t)|^2 dx, t>0,\] always grows in a sublinear manner, i.e., \[\frac{\mathcal{E}(t)}{t}\to 0, \ as\ \ t\to+\infty.\] Moreover, fast decay rates of \(u_0\) at infinity enforce rapid growth of \(\mathcal{E}\). Various examples demonstrate the sharpness of the sublinear growth rate of \(\mathcal{E}\).
