This book analyzes the psychological mechanisms critical to animal
communication. The topics covered range from single neurons to
broad-scale phylogenetic patterns, shedding new light on the
sensory, perceptual, and cognitive processes that underlie the
communicative behaviors of signalers and receivers alike. In so
doing, the contributing authors collectively integrate research
questions and methods from behavioral ecology, cognitive ethology,
comparative psychology, evolutionary biology, sensory ecology, and
neuroscience. No less broad is the volume's taxonomic coverage,
which spans bees to blackbirds to baboons. The ultimate goal of the
book is to stimulate additional research into the diversity and
evolution of the psychological mechanisms that make animal
communication possible.
