The Author of this new volume on ant communication demonstrates
that information theory is a valuable tool for studying the natural
communication of animals. To do so, she pursues a fundamentally new
approach to studying animal communication and "linguistic"
capacities on the basis of measuring the rate of information
transmission and the complexity of transmitted messages. Animals'
communication systems and cognitive abilities have long-since been
a topic of particular interest to biologists, psychologists,
linguists, and many others, including researchers in the fields of
robotics and artificial intelligence. The main difficulties in the
analysis of animal language have to date been predominantly
methodological in nature. Addressing this perennial problem, the
elaborated experimental paradigm presented here has been applied to
ants, and can be extended to other social species of animals that
have the need to memorize and relay complex "messages".
Accordingly, the method opens exciting new dimensions in the study
of natural communications in the wild.
