Animal communication

Communication is when one animal transmits information to another animal causing some kind of change in the animal that gets the information. Animals communicate using signals, which can include visual; auditory, or sound-based; chemical, involving pheromones; or tactile, touch-based, cues. Communication is usually between animals of a single species, but it can also happen between two animals of different species. Communication behaviors can help animals find mates, establish dominance, defend territory, coordinate group behavior, and care for young.

Communication—when we're talking about animal behavior—can be any process where information is passed from one animal to another causing a change or response in the receiving animal. Communication most often happens between members of a species, though it can also take place between different species. For instance, your dog may bark at you to ask for a treat! Some species are very social, living in groups and interacting all the time; communication is essential for keeping these groups cohesive and organized. However, even animals that are relative loners usually have to communicate at least a little, if only to find a mate.

Below are some common types of signals: Pheromones—chemicals, Auditory cues—sounds, Visual cues, Tactile cues—touch. In some cases, signals can even be electric! Where does this diversity of communication behaviors come from? Like other traits, communication behaviors—and/or the capacity for learning these behaviors—arise through natural selection. Heritable communication behaviors that increase an organism's likelihood of surviving and reproducing will tend to persist and become common in a population or species. In the rest of the article, we'll look at some examples of the many ways that animals can communicate with one another.
