Figure 4.
The effect of information transmission parameters on (a) amount, evenness and (b) persistence of knowledge and behaviour (note differing x-axis scales between panels). Boxplots show the change from the standard conditions used in the tournament when (white bars) the probability of copying the wrong behaviour when playing OBSERVE, pcopyActWrong = 0 or when (grey bars) the social learning of payoffs is so error-prone as to be uninformative (the standard deviation of a normally distributed error applied to payoffs returned by OBSERVE, σcopyPayoffError = 100). Values are taken from averages over ten 10 000 iteration simulations in each of which only one of the 10 best tournament entries was present.
