The design of animal communication / Hauser, M.D.(Ed.) ; Konishi, M.(Ed.) (1999)  

Public ISBD Titre : The design of animal communication Type de document : livre Auteurs : Hauser, M.D.(Ed.) ; Konishi, M.(Ed.) Editeur : Cambridge, Massachusetts : MIT Press Année de publication : 1999 Importance : 701 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-262-08277-8 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal communication  Behaviour Résumé : When animals, including humans, communicate, they convey information and express their perceptions of the world. Because different organisms are able to produce and perceive different signals, the animal world contains a diversity of communication systems. Based on the approach laid out in the 1950s by Nobel laureate Nikolaas Tinbergen, this book looks at animal communication from the four perspectives of mechanisms, ontogeny, function, and phylogeny. The book's great strength is its broad comparative perspective, which enables the reader to appreciate the diversity of solutions to particular problems of signal design and perception. For example, although the neural circuitry underlying the production of acoustic signals is different in frogs, songbirds, bats, and humans, each involves a set of dedicated pathways designed to solve particular problems of communicative efficiency. Such comparative findings form the basis of a conceptual framework for understanding the mechanisms underlying communication systems and their evolution.

Evolution of communication systems: a comparative approach / Oller, D.K.(Ed.) ; Griebel, U.(Ed.) (2004)  

Public ISBD Titre : Evolution of communication systems: a comparative approach Type de document : livre Auteurs : Oller, D.K.(Ed.) ; Griebel, U.(Ed.) Editeur : Cambridge, Massachusetts : MIT Press Année de publication : 2004 Collection : The Vienna series in theoretical biology Importance : 338 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-262-15111-5 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal communication  Behaviour  Evolution  Human evolution  Language Résumé : The search for origins of communication in a wide variety of species including humans is rapidly becoming a thoroughly interdisciplinary enterprise. In this volume, scientists engaged in the fields of evolutionary biology, linguistics, animal behavior, developmental psychology, philosophy, the cognitive sciences, robotics, and neural network modeling come together to explore a comparative approach to the evolution of communication systems. The comparisons range from parrot talk to squid skin displays, from human language to Aibo the robot dog's language learning, and from monkey babbling to the newborn human infant cry. The authors explore the mysterious circumstances surrounding the emergence of human language, which they propose to be intricately connected with drastic changes in human lifestyle. While it is not yet clear what the physical environmental circumstances were that fostered social changes in the hominid line, the volume offers converging evidence and theory from several lines of research suggesting that language depended upon the restructuring of ancient human social groups. The volume also offers new theoretical treatments of both primitive communication systems and human language, providing new perspectives on how to recognize both their similarities and their differences. Explorations of new technologies in robotics, neural network modeling and pattern recognition offer many opportunities to simulate and evaluate theoretical proposals.

Signalers and receivers: mechanisms and evolution of arthropod communication / Greenfield, M.D. (2002)  

Public ISBD Titre : Signalers and receivers: mechanisms and evolution of arthropod communication Type de document : livre Auteurs : Greenfield, M.D. Editeur : New York : Oxford University Press, NY Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 414 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-513452-0 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal communication  Arthropoda  Behaviour Résumé : In most terrestrial and aquatic habitats, the vast majority of animals transmitting and receiving communicative signals are arthropods. This book presents the story of how this important group of animals use pheromones, sound, vibration, and light for sexual and social communication. Because of their small to minute body size most arthropods have problems sending and receiving acoustic and optical information, each of which have their own severe constraints. Because of these restraints they have developed chemical signaling which is not similarly limited by scale. Presenting the latest theoretical and experimental findings from studies of signaling, it suggests that close parallels between arthropods and vertebrates reflect a very limited number of solutions to problems in behavior that are available within the confines of physical laws.
