Other hypotheses or contributing factors to evolution of vocal signalling are also presented, as predator pressure and habitat type, size and complexity of

Production of vibrations is a mechanical event of stomping, tapping, drumming, rubbing surfaces together (stridulation) and trembling the body (trembulation) to transmit both airborne and seismic signals. Ground-borne vibrations are transmit through a diversity of

Brooding behavior of workers accumulating larvae lying scattered under the queen is the altruistic behavior which is essential in social maintenance. The development of this brood-accumulation behavior in a worker requires ‘social experi

Beyond domestic animal—human communication, humans are known to communicate closely with a few wild animals with which they have mutualistic foraging relationships (dolphins, honeyguides). We reveal another such relationship in a pilot field study of American

This chapter will provide an overview over how song is controlled and acquired, how and what kind of information is coded in different singing styles and to what features receivers attend to, thereby showing how structure is linked to function.

This pheromone is used only if the male encounters a less-than-receptive female. In this case, the male delivers specialized pheromones to this female. A female receiving these pheromones mates more quickl
