Dishonest signalling in a fiddler crab [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2000 Animal communication theory predicts that low-frequency cheating should be common in generally honest signalling systems. However, perhaps because cheats are designed to go undetected, there are few examples of dishonest signals in natural populations.
