Animals often gather information from other species by eavesdropping on signals intended
for others. We review the extent, benefits, mechanisms, and ecological and evolutionary …

Nest predation is a key source of selection for birds that has attracted increasing attention
from ornithologists. The inclusion of new concepts applicable to nest predation that stem …

How learning affects vocalizations is a key question in the study of animal communication
and human language. Parallel efforts in birds and humans have taught us much about how …

Behavioral interference between species, such as territorial aggression, courtship, and
mating, is widespread in animals. While aggressive and reproductive forms of interspecific …

Cultures in humans and other species are maintained through interactions among
conspecifics. Declines in population density could be exacerbated by culture loss, thereby …

Research on avian vocalisations has traditionally focused on male song produced by oscine
passerines. However, accumulating evidence indicates that complex vocalisations can …

Motion is a crucial part of the natural world, yet our understanding of how animals avoid
predation whilst moving remains rather limited. Although several theories have been …

Deals with all aspects of adaptive resemblance Full colour Covers everything from classic
examples of Batesian, Mullerian, aggressive and sexual mimicries through to human …

Mimicry is a canonical example of adaptive signal design. In principle, what constitutes
mimicry is independent of the taxonomic identity of the mimic, the ecological context in which …

Animals in natural communities gain information from members of other species facing
similar ecological challenges [1–5], including many vertebrates that recognize the alarm …
