Signaling is a very basic biological phenomenon. It is present at almost all levels of biological organization and it plays a crucial role in nearly all biological processes. Although these processes comprise a very diverse set of phenomena, there is a common core to their structure: at least one sender interacts with at least one receiver. This allows one to apply the mathematical theory of games, which is an abstract theory of strategic interactions. The goal of this project is to identify stable evolutionary outcomes of signaling interactions by using methods from evolutionary game theory. Although some properties of signaling are well understood, our knowledge of how reliable signaling emerges in a dynamic process is limited, especially in cases where there is substantial conflict of interest between a sender and a receiver. If it is not in the sender's interest to transfer all relevant information, how can reliable signaling be achieved? This question is at the heart of a huge number of problems in biology. It also plays a very prominent role in many economic interactions. This project will provide important new results for a wide array of research programs and will open up unknown paths for experiments and field studies. The project involves the training of undergraduate and graduate students and the development of educational tools.

信号传导是一种非常基本的生物学现象。 它几乎存在于生物组织的几乎所有级别，并且在几乎所有生物过程中都起着至关重要的作用。尽管这些过程包括一组非常多样化的现象，但其结构有一个共同的核心：至少一个发件人与至少一个接收器相互作用。这允许人们应用游戏的数学理论，这是战略互动的抽象理论。该项目的目的是通过使用进化游戏理论的方法来确定信号交互的稳定进化结果。 尽管对信号的某些特性有充分的理解，但我们对动态过程中可靠信号的出现如何出现的了解是有限的，尤其是在发件人和接收器之间存在实质利益冲突的情况下。如果传输所有相关信息不符合发件人的利益，如何实现可靠的信号？这个问题是生物学中许多问题的核心。它在许多经济互动中也起着非常重要的作用。 该项目将为广泛的研究计划提供重要的新结果，并将为实验和现场研究开辟未知的途径。 该项目涉及对本科生和研究生的培训以及教育工具的发展。
