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
Intraspecific variation in motion displays
Habitat characteristics influence the efficacy of animal communication, and population differences insignal structure due to habitat variation are well known
PhD Theses submissions
Thesis submissions December 2016 | Nicole Butler became the first ABG student to submit a PhD thesis: Comparing the Anti-Predator
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
Australian dragons: motion displays
Australia’s dragon lizards (Family: Agamidae) employ dynamic visual signals in a variety of contexts but the signalling behaviour of this
ASSAB funding to Jose Ramos
Many thanks to the Australasian Society for the Study of Animal Behaviour for awarding $1000 to support Jose’s research: Dragon Wars:
Dragons of Oz
Motion displays are a feature of social signalling by many of Australia’s dragon lizards (Family: Agamidae). They are used in
Lizards of Ecuador
Our research investigates two genera of lizards from Ecuador: Anolis and Microlophus. Anolis lizards are diurnally active arboreal lizards found in
