Document Summary
Communication: information transfer: requirements: the deliberate of signals. Any sensory mode that detects that could be involved in communication: snake: It would rattle its tail if sees a raccoon, and then would rustle the leaves: raccoon would avoid. It is a matter of ordinary movement that generates sound: fiddler crabs, males have one enlarged claw. They wave that claw as a signal: different species could have different patterns, having a different time span to raise their enlarged claws, these signals are species specific. If bird makes calls, most likely to get eaten right away. If they survived, won"t get eaten for a few days: effect on. True communicative : truly beneficial: common interests where males and females want to mate, signalling where the males want to mate but the females doesn"t, bees. Interests can diverge: communicating only to those who is in the center, not all bees communicates precisely in the same way.
