Plots of the largest value of q, \(\hat{q}\), that allows covert signaling to be an ESS. Each curve represents a set of parameter values. Points below each curve make covert signals uninvadvable by overt signals. Points above each curve allow overt signaling to invade. Left: The cost of being disliked, d, for four values of the baseline rate of similarity, s. r/R = 0.5, wL = 1.1, wD = 0.9, and δ = 0.01. Right: The ratio of covert transmission rate, r, to the rate of overt transmission rate, R, for four values of wL = 1/wD. s = 0.1, R = 0.5, d = 0.1, and δ = 0.01.
