| BIOL 58705 - Animal Communication |
|
Credit Hours: 3.00. This course will be a broad-scaled analysis of animal communication. Topics will include the physics of sound- and light-signal production, propagation and reception of signals, the use of communication as a means of information transfer, and the evolution of signaling systems. Mathematical principles are covered (e.g. in the evolution of signals), so some background in mathematics (e.g. calculus or algebra and introductory physics) is helpful.
