Communication in mammals: deciphering messages in visual, acoustic and olfactory signals

The evening will focus on the different methods of communication in mammals and how these may be interpreted.


The bewildering diversity in the appearance, sounds and odours of mammals offers fascinating challenges to students of animal communication:

  • When is information being transferred?
  • What are the messages?
  • Are animals always truthful or do they sometimes deceive each other?

With examples from across the mammalian taxonomic spectrum, this meeting explores how the senses of sight, hearing and smell are used to gain information from conspecifics.

The speakers will highlight new insights into the complexity of signalling and how animals perceive the world.
