We report on the elaboration of a movement-based lizard display in the presence of a simulated predator, and argue that

This paper is the culmination of work by staff and undergraduate students motivated by anecdotes of aggressive ducks on campus.
Paper: a predator’s perspective of lizard displays
The study found that the effectiveness of the Qinghai toad-headed agama’s tail displays depends on environmental conditions and viewing perspective,

In this paper we review putative ecological variables that predict the occurrence of alarm calls by birds in the Australian
Paper! Kimberley dragons
We report for the first time the movement-based signals of four lizards from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Abstract
Paper! Eye catching movement
We demonstrate that the visual amplitudes generated by tail flicking of Jacky lizards are larger than obvious alternative (push-ups) and

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.
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
