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 ...
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 ...
Mutualism describes the ecological interaction between two or more species where each species has a net benefit. [ 1 ] Mutualism is a common type of ecological interaction. Prominent examples are: the way corals become photosynthetic with the help of the microorganism zooxanthellae.
Semiochemical. A semiochemical, from the Greek σημεῖον (semeion), meaning "signal", is a chemical substance or mixture released by an organism that affects the behaviors of other individuals. [1] Semiochemical communication can be divided into two broad classes: communication between individuals of the same species (intraspecific) or ...
