In order to communicate, animals send and receive signals that are subject to their particular anatomical, psychological, and environmental constraints. This SHAR volume discusses both the production and perception of acoustic signals. Chapters address the information that animals communicate, how the communication is developed and learned, and how communication systems have adapted and evolved within species. The book will give examples from a variety of species. TOC:Introduction.- Ecological and Environmental Constraints.- Information Content of Signals.- Development and Learning.- Evolution.- Hormonal Mechanisms.- Neural Mechanisms: Call Detectors.
