....of communication and not an absolute measure. 4.1 Noise and uncertainty The use of continuous values for the cost of signals and for the response threshold suggests the possibility of random noise in the signalling channel. In the real world signals will not always be accurately perceived, and Johnstone (1994) found that modelling noise or perceptual error in a signalling game in fact altered the predictions about which strategies were expected to be stable. It was thought that perhaps the inclusion of noise would alter the region of the payoff space in which communication evolved. Noise was ....

....continuous (e.g. relative fighting ability or estimated value of victory) It seems somewhat paradoxical that discrete displays should be used to signal continuous properties. One explanation is that the reduction in probability of errors in transmission favours discrete signals (Morris 1957) Johnstone (1994) has modelled the evolution of this effect in the Sir Philip Sydney game. An alternative explanation is that there is some strategic value in employing an ambiguous signal. Enquist (1985, model II) demonstrated this effect in a two signal model. Here we present a generalized version of the model, ....
