Something to talk about: Conflict and coincidence of interest in.. - Bullock   (Correct)

....and receiver since the job of the sexual ornament is not the same for both parties. Human Language Within models of the evolution of human language (e.g. Kirby Hurford, 1997; Kirby, 1998, 2000; Batali, 1998; Steels, 1998) there is often little attention to the possibility of deceit (but see Noble, 2000). These accounts either implicitly or explicitly presuppose that the agents involved are taking part in an essentially co operative enterprise. Language is used by these agents to transmit information. Disregarding some perspectival di erences, the information conveyed in an utterance is shared ....

Adaptive Factors in the Evolution of Signalling Systems - Noble, Di Paolo, Bullock   Self-citation (Noble)   (Correct)

....signalling. In doing so we may throw light upon not only the origins of human language, but also its character. The chief theoretical problem that comes to light when we look at the evolution of communication is accounting for the amount of honesty that is apparently involved (Johnstone, 1997; Noble, 2000a) Let us specify a hypothetical communicative scenario, such as a warning call to alert other animals about an approaching predator, or a display to advertise one s suitability as a mate. We can then construct a game theoretic model, which allows us to consider the advantages and disadvantages ....

....ecological dynamics and the resulting broken ecological symmetries due to the activity of the players. The importance of such couplings have been long noted (Lewontin, 1983) and have been recently highlighted under the label of niche construction , Laland, Odling Smee, Feldman, 2000; Bullock Noble, 2000). 3 Evolutionary Simulation Modelling and the Handicap Principle Since Israeli ornithologist Amotz Zahavi rst presented his theory a quarter of a century ago (Zahavi, 1975, 1977) the handicap principle has been the subject of energetic debate within the evolutionary biology literature. Brie ....
