The Classical Ethological Approach to Communication Posits That

The classical ethological approach to communication posits that:

B) honest signaling cannot evolve in the context of animal communication.
C) both the signaler and the receiver benefit from information exchange and that there is little selection pressure favoring deceitful communication.
D) neither the signaler nor the receiver benefit from information exchange, thus leading to the elimination of communication altogether.
E) even if selection pressures favor dishonest communication, signalers and receivers will never engage in deceitful signaling.
