Zebra finches and heterospecific alarm calls

August 13, 2017 eriophora Animal communication, Birds Comments Off on 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

Zebra finches don’t alarm call

July 12, 2017 eriophora Animal communication, Birds, Papers Comments Off on 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

May 23, 2017 eriophora Animal communication, Lizards, Papers Comments Off on 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

March 31, 2017 eriophora Animal communication, Ecuador, Lizards Comments Off on Anolis signals & local adaption

For animals to communicate effectively, signals are required to be successfully detected by an intended receiver across the extent of

Anolis signals & species recognition

March 31, 2017 eriophora Animal communication, Ecuador, Lizards Comments Off on Anolis signals & species recognition

Visual signalling is used during inter and intra specific interactions, and has evolved toward complex, diverse and highly species-specific displays.

Quantifying ecological constraints on motion signaling

March 1, 2017 eriophora Animal communication, Lizards, Papers Comments Off on Quantifying ecological constraints on motion signaling

The environment in which animal signals are generated has the potential to affect transmission and reliable detection by receivers. To

Social context and tail displays by Chinese dragons

August 16, 2016 eriophora Animal communication, China, Lizards, Papers Comments Off on Social context and tail displays by Chinese dragons

Competition between animals for limited resources often involves signaling to establish ownership ordominance. In some species, the defended resource relates
