摘要: Organisms with environmental sensors that guide survival are considered more likely to be favored by natural selection if they possess accurate sensors. In this paper, we develop a theoretical model which shows under certain conditions of stochasticity, actually favors lower accuracy. An analogy between counter-intuitive phenomenon and the well-known Parrondo’s paradox is suggested.
