Springer (Verlag)
978-94-007-7413-1 (ISBN)
(a) Abiotic environmental indices such as temperature, light, water, etc. that affect the local ecosphere of an organism and are sensed, interpreted.
(b) Trans-specific communication with non-related organisms.
(c) Species-specific communication between same or related species.
(d) Intraorganismic communication, i.e., sign-mediated coordination within the body of the organism.
This book gives an overview of the manifold levels of animal communication exemplified by a variety of species and thereby broadens the understanding of these organisms.
