Playback is the technique of rebroadcasting natural or synthetic
signals to animals and observing their response. The ability to
present a putative signal in isolation, without the potential
confounding effects of other activities of the signaller, is the
main reason for the depth and range of our knowledge of
communication systems. To date, playback of sound signals has
predominated, but playback of electric signals and even video
playback of visual signals suggests that playback will become just
as prevalent in studies of communication in other sensory
modalities. This book is one of the outcomes of a workshop on
playback held at Thombridge Hall in the Peak District National
Park, England during August 1991. There were two reasons for
organising the workshop. First, the considerable and lively debate
in the literature about the design and analysis of playback
experiments -the pseudoreplication debate -was in danger of
generating more heat than light. A workshop forum seemed the
obvious place to clarify and, if possible, resolve the debate.
Second, with the number of new playback and analysis techniques
increasing rapidly, it seemed an opportune moment to discuss these
techniques and to review some rapidly developing areas of interest
in sound communication.
