title = "Honest Signaling: Learning Dynamics versus Evolutionary Stability",
abstract = "Until now, biologist have mostly studied under what circumstances honest signaling is stable. Stability, however, is not sufficient to explain the emergence of honest signaling. We observe that honest signaling can emerge through learning. The settings where honest signaling evolves, however, do not exactly match those where honest signaling is evolutionary stable. They do, however, match the set where honest signaling is a Pareto- optimal Nash equilibrium. As such, we provide an alternative explanation for the emergence and existence of honest signaling.",
