TL;DR
This paper introduces a model to evaluate the success probability of quorum sensing strategies, showing they outperform individual strategies under certain conditions but can be less effective when quorum costs are high.
Contribution
It presents a simple probabilistic model to compare quorum sensing and individual strategies, highlighting conditions where quorum sensing is advantageous or disadvantageous.
Findings
Quorum sensing has higher success probability when individual success chances are low.
High costs of quorum building reduce the effectiveness of quorum sensing.
Success probability decreases with quorum cost when costs are too high.
Abstract
We propose a simple model to compute the probability of success under a quorum sensing strategy. We show that a quorum sensing strategy has a higher probability of success than an individualistic strategy when, for instance, the probability of success for a single individual is low and the cost of building a quorum is not too high. On the other hand if the cost of building a quorum is too high then the probability of success under quorum sensing always decreases as a function of the quorum.
