Its a bit old (1976), but in The Selfish Gene Richard Dawkins uses game theory to describe animal aggression (in chapter 5) and altruism and cooperation (particularly in chapters 10 and 12).
There are a few free downloads of the book out there, e.g. here.
In the same vein, I would highly recommend John Maynard Smith’s “Evolution and the Theory of Games”. It has many highly motivated examples of Game Theory in Biology by a real biologist. The later chapters get dense but the first half is readable with a basic knowledge of calculus (which was in fact my background when I first picked up this book).
