The use of movement to communicate is widespread in the animal kingdom, and understanding of the structure and function of
Motion signals and lizard muscle
The Jacky lizard (Amphibolurus muricatus) responds to greater plant motion noise by extending the duration of introductory tail flicking, which
Motion Signalling & Predators
Models of signal evolution predict that the threat posed by eavesdropping predators will influence the evolution of signal structure and
Zebra finches and heterospecific alarm calls
Studies have shown that numerous species eavesdrop on the calls of heterospecifics to gain information about predator presence. Responding to
Dancing frogs
In this project, we aim to examine the multimodal communication of an Australian anuran species, Litoria fallax (the eastern sedge
Zebra finches don’t alarm call
Many vertebrates use vocalizations to communicate about the presence of predators, and some encode information about predator type or behaviour.
Interspecific variation in motion displays
Signaling species occurring in sympatry areoften exposed to similar environmental constraints, so similar adaptations to enhance signal efficacy are expected.
Anolis signals & local adaption
For animals to communicate effectively, signals are required to be successfully detected by an intended receiver across the extent of
