A Paradoxical Evolutionary Mechanism in Stochastically Switching Environments

Organisms with environmental sensors that guide survival are considered more likely to be favored by natural selection if they possess more accurate sensors. In this paper, we develop a theoretical model which shows that under certain conditions of environmental stochasticity, selection actually fav...
