Information is a core concept in animal communication: individuals
routinely produce, acquire, process and store information, which
provides the basis for their social life. This book focuses on how
animal acoustic signals code information and how this coding can be
shaped by various environmental and social constraints. Taking
birds and mammals, including humans, as models, the authors explore
such topics as communication strategies for "public" and "private"
signaling, static and dynamic signaling, the diversity of coded
information and the way information is decoded by the receiver. The
book appeals to a wide audience, ranging from bioacousticians,
ethologists and ecologists to evolutionary biologists. Intended for
students and researchers alike, it promotes the idea that Shannon
and Weaver's Mathematical Theory of Communication still represents
a strong framework for understanding all aspects of the
communication process, including its dynamic dimensions.
