Mutualism. 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 ...
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 ...
Secondary contact is the process in which two allopatrically distributed populations of a species are geographically reunited. This contact allows for the potential for the exchange of genes, dependent on how reproductively isolated the two populations have become. There are several primary outcomes of secondary contact: extinction of one ...
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.
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 ...
Eusociality (Greek εὖ eu "good" and social) is the highest level of organization of sociality. It is defined by the following characteristics: cooperative brood care (including care of offspring from other individuals), overlapping generations within a colony of adults, and a division of labor into reproductive and non-reproductive groups.
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.
Plant communication encompasses communication using volatile organic compounds, electrical signaling, and common mycorrhizal networks between plants and a host of other organisms such as soil microbes, [2] other plants [3] (of the same or other species), animals, [4] insects, [5] and fungi. [6] Plants communicate through a host of volatile ...
