Phylogeny Shared descent/ecology
Pitfall of studying behaviour Anthropomorphism
Info provided by communication Aggression Identity Social-info
Communication definition Passing of info from sender to receiver
Signal definition Feature of an animal that's evolved to alter behaviour of the receivers
Cues definition Any feature that can be used as a guide for future actions
How do signals evolve? Probably by ritualisation of existing cues
Cue revealing autonomic stimulation Respiration - operculum flapping
Ritualisation of cues revealing behaviour Intention movements - fight/flight Self-protective movements - Scalp retraction in primates
"Displacement" behaviour Interruption of one behaviour with another seemingly irrelevant behaviour
How ritualised signals differ from cues (4) 1. Conspicuousness 2. Redundancy (e.g. repetition) 3. Stereotype. 4. Altering components
How ritualisation aids communication 1. ^ cost = cost ensures honesty 2. ^ Efficacy = ^ info transfer speed 3. ^ ability of signallers to manipulate receivers
Signal evolution Evolve to maximise transmission and minimise eavesdropping Predators drive selection for private frequencies
Uses of signalling Signal danger Communicate w/ predator
Aposematism Conspicuous warning of unprofitability
