Communication is an essential factor underpinning the interactions
between species and the structure of their communities.
Plant-animal interactions are particularly diverse due to the
complex nature of their mutualistic and antagonistic relationships.
However the evolution of communication and the underlying
mechanisms responsible remain poorly understood.
Plant-Animal Communication is a timely summary of the latest
research and ideas on the ecological and evolutionary foundations
of communication between plants and animals, including discussions
of fundamental concepts such as deception, reliability, and
camouflage. It introduces how the sensory world of animals shapes
the various modes of communication employed, laying out the basics
of vision, scent, acoustic, and gustatory communication. Subsequent
chapters discuss how plants communicate in these sensory modes to
attract animals to facilitate seed dispersal, pollination, and
carnivory, and how they communicate to defend themselves against
herbivores. Potential avenues for productive theoretical and
empirical research are clearly identified, and suggestions for
novel empirical approaches to the study of communication in general
are outlined.
