Defining biological communication.
Communication is ubiquitous in biology, and agreement on terms essential for scientific progress. Yet there is no agreed definition of biological communication. Definitions couched in terms of adaptation are often used, but there is significant variability in exactly which criteria are invoked. An alternative is to define communication in terms of information transfer. This article reviews the ...
متن کاملIterative Broadening
Conventional blind search techniques generally assume that the goal nodes for a given problem are distributed randomly along the fringe of the search tree. We argue that this is often invalid in practice, suggest that a more reasonable assumption is that decisions made at each point in the search carry equal weight, and show that a new search technique that we call iterative broadening leads to...
متن کاملPutting information back into biological communication.
At the heart of many debates on communication is the concept of information. There is an intuitive sense in which communication implies the transfer of some kind of information, probably the reason why information is an essential ingredient in most definitions of communication. However, information has also been an endless source of misunderstandings, and recent accounts have proposed that info...
متن کاملMolecular Communication Technology as a Biological ICT
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the art research on molecular communication—a molecule-based communication paradigm for biological machines. Unlike current telecommunications based on electric or optical signals, molecular communication exploits biological molecules as information carriers. In molecular communication, senders of communication encode information onto m...
متن کاملA strategic taxonomy of biological communication
The rapid increase in the understanding of biological communication has been largely theory driven. Game-theoretical models have completely changed how behavioural biologists think about communication. These theories are widely cited, but much of the theoretical work remains only vaguely understood by the wide majority of those who make use of it. Critical terms and concepts have not been suffi...
