PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Alarm signals and interspecific eavesdropping

We test ideas experimentally about the information conveyed in alarm calls and used by others of the same and different species. Techniques include prompting alarm calls with model predators and carrying out playback experiments.

Behavioural, evolutionary and physiological ecology
