Main concepts: With what kinds of partners do animals need to communicate (predators, mates, etc.)? When are animals sending honest signals, and when are signals deceptive? What kinds of sensory modes are the animals using, and what medium transmits the signals (air, water, ground, etc.)? What are the effects of communication on the receivers of signals (move closer, move away, mating, etc.)?
