Animal signals by 290697 Smith, John Maynard, Harper, David, Dr.

The extravagance of animal signals by Guilford, T

Animal signals: all honesty and light? by Guilford, T

Receiver psychology and the design of animal signals. by Guilford, T, Dawkins, MS

“…Evolutionary biologists should take more account of the role played by the sensory systems and brains of receivers in constraining the design of animal signals. Neurobiologists should be more aware of recent advances in the understanding of signal-receiver co-evolution and the evolutionary origins of animal signals. …”

Animal signals and emotion in music: Coordinating affect across groups by Gregory A. Bryant

“…Researchers studying the emotional impact of music have not traditionally been concerned with the principled relationship between form and function in evolved animal signals. The acoustic structure of musical forms is related in important ways to emotion perception, and thus research on nonhuman animal vocalizations is relevant for understanding emotion in music. …”

Unpredictable environments lead to the evolution of parental neglect in birds. by Caro, S, Griffin, A, Hinde, C, West, S

“…This extreme variation across species, which contradicts predictions from theory, represents a major outstanding problem for the study of animal signalling. We analyse parent-offspring communication across 143 bird species, and show that this variation correlates with ecological differences. …”

“…This extreme variation across species, which contradicts predictions from theory, represents a major outstanding problem for the study of animal signalling. We analyse parent-offspring communication across 143 species of birds, and show that this variation arises from ecological differences. …”

Evolutionary theory of bacterial quorum sensing: when is a signal not a signal? by Diggle, S, Gardner, A, West, SA, Griffin, A

“…This review seeks to integrate the evolutionary literature on animal signalling with the microbiological literature on QS, and asks whether QS within bacteria is true signalling or whether these molecules are also used as cues or for the coercion of other cells.…”

An exaggerated preference for simple neural network models of signal evolution? by Dawkins, MS, Guilford, T

“…Recently, simple neural network models have been used to explain the evolution of important phenomena in animal signalling, such as extravagant ornamentation and symmetrical signals, as responses to inevitable 'hidden preferences' of recognition systems. …”

Social odours covary with bacterial community in the anal secretions of wild meerkats by Sarah Leclaire, Staffan Jacob, Lydia K. Greene, George R. Dubay, Christine M. Drea

“…Abstract The fermentation hypothesis for animal signalling posits that bacteria dwelling in an animal’s scent glands metabolize the glands’ primary products into odorous compounds used by the host to communicate with conspecifics. …”
