Animals use a variety of methods to communicate with each other, including visual gestures and displays, vocal calls and songs, chemical signals, and odor trails. This course surveys the diverse forms of communication used throughout the animal kingdom, including insects, frogs, birds, bats, cetaceans, monkeys, apes and humans. We will consider the design features that characterize communication systems, and unique adaptations that are exploited in different environmental settings. We will also discuss how animal communication and human communication are related, and what properties are shared and not shared between human and animal communication systems, and what makes human communication unique.
