متن کاملCry-wolf signals emerging from coevolutionary feedbacks in a tritrophic system.
For a communication system to be stable, senders should convey honest information. Providing dishonest information, however, can be advantageous to senders, which imposes a constraint on the evolution of communication systems. Beyond single populations and bitrophic systems, one may ask whether stable communication systems can evolve in multitrophic systems. Consider cross-species signalling wh...
متن کاملFalse Alerts in Air Traffic Control Conflict Alerting System: Is There a "Cry Wolf" Effect?

BACKGROUND Some aircraft collisions have been partly attributed to the cry wolf effect, and in other domains (health care and systems monitoring)...
