Nonverbal communication between dog and human. Cooperative interspecies communication implies sharing and understanding information between two or more species that work towards the benefit of both species (mutualism). [citation needed] Since the 1970s, primatologist Sue Savage-Rumbaugh has been working with primates at Georgia State University ...
Animal communication is the transfer of information from one or a group of animals (sender or senders) to one or more other animals (receiver or receivers) that affects the current or future behavior of the receivers. [1][2] Information may be sent intentionally, as in a courtship display, or unintentionally, as in the transfer of scent from ...
Broadly speaking, intercellular communication may be categorized as being within a single animal, or between an animal and other animals in the ecosystem in which it lives. In this article intercellular communication has been further collated into various areas of research rather than by functional or structural characteristics.
Ecological speciation is a form of speciation arising from reproductive isolation that occurs due to an ecological factor that reduces or eliminates gene flow between two populations of a species. Ecological factors can include changes in the environmental conditions in which a species experiences, such as behavioral changes involving predation ...
The two species share the same ecological niche, and are thus in competition with each other. Interspecific competition, in ecology, is a form of competition in which individuals of different species compete for the same resources in an ecosystem (e.g. food or living space). This can be contrasted with mutualism, a type of symbiosis.
Insect pheromones are neurotransmitters that serve the chemical communication between individuals of an insect species. They thus differ from kairomones, in other words, neurotransmitters that transmit information to non-species organisms. Insects produce pheromones in special glands and release them into the environment.
In ecology, a biological interaction is the effect that a pair of organisms living together in a community have on each other. They can be either of the same species (intraspecific interactions), or of different species (interspecific interactions). These effects may be short-term, or long-term, both often strongly influence the adaptation and ...
Mycorrhizal network. Nutrient exchanges and communication between a mycorrhizal fungus and plants. White threads of fungal mycelium are sometimes visible underneath leaf litter in a forest floor. A mycorrhizal network (also known as a common mycorrhizal network or CMN) is an underground network found in forests and other plant communities ...
