Description for Animal Signaling and Function: An Integrative Approach
Hardcover. The diversity of animal signals has been widely documented, and the generality of animal signals also tantalizingly suggests that there are common mechanisms that have selected for their origin. Editor(s): Irschick, Duncan J.; Briffa, Mark; Podos, Jeffrey. Num Pages: 272 pages. BIC Classification: PS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 262 x 117 x 20. Weight in Grams: 648.
The diversity of animal signals has been widely documented, and the generality of animal signals also tantalizingly suggests that there are common mechanisms that have selected for their origin. However, while much progress has been made on some fronts, we still lack a general theory about why the diversity of signaling structures exist. Our compilation will directly address this gap by focusing on an exciting new arena of sexual selection, namely using functional approaches to understand signaling. This approach is rooted in the idea that many signals are designed to transmit important functional imformation that is both important for issues of ... Read more
