Four F's
Do I FLEE from it?
Do I FIGHT with it?
Do I FEED on it?
Do I F*CK it?
Mammas live by these four F's

Communication: Displays
Behavioral patterns that convey messages between animals
Communication: Message
Describe the sender's state
Communication: Signal
Actual physucal form of the message; smell, physical touch, sound, etc
Biological communication:
Behavior of one org influences the behavior of another org.
Ritualized behavior
Control recipient's behavior with little effort.
Deceit
Very rare in mammals : Elephant seals
Discrete signals
Sent in a simple manor; Zebras lower ears when threatened or raise them when greeting.
Graded signals
Varies with intensity (the signal)
Pheromones
Chemical signals between indiv of same species
Alomones
Chemical signals between different species
Four modes of mammal communication
Odor, Visual, Auditory, Tactile
Four types of "group-spacing"
1) Distance-increasing: Branch shaking means coming down, move
2) Distance-maintaining: Howler -> go away
3) Distance-reducing: "lost" call of cebus monkey
4) Proximity-maintaining: grooming.

Importance of recognition in communication
A lotta stuff
Agonistic behavior
All aspects of conflict; attack, escape, etc.. Minus predation.
Territorial,
Dominance,
Sexual,
Parental
Parent-offspring.
Territorial,
Dominance,
Sexual,
Parental
Parent-offspring.
Agonistic: Territorial
Exclusion of others from a place
Agonistic: Dominance
Controlling the behavior of another individual (due to previous encounter)
Agonistic: Sexual
Threats and punishments to obtain and remain mates
Agonistic: Parental
Attack intruders when young are present
Agonistc: Parent-offspring
Disciplinary action associated with weaning
Agression
Behavior intended to inflict noxious stimulation or destructin
Competition
Fighting over limited resources
Exploitation
Deprive others of resources w/o direct interactions (fruit eating bats and birds)
Interference
Organisms interact to reduce areas of resources for each other
MHC Complex
Major histocompatibility complex:
Self/non-self in immunte system, recognize things that aren't you.
Self/non-self in immunte system, recognize things that aren't you.
MHC: Rodents
Can detect differences in MHC through urine odor. Many mammals mate with diffrent MHC indiv
MHC: Humans
Perfumes, colognes, etc. Boost sexual attractivmeness
Four Dominance Schematics
1) Dominating the pack A ->BCD
2) Pecking Order A->B->C->D
3) Triangular Dominance C->A->B->C
4) A ->BC; BC->A
2) Pecking Order A->B->C->D
3) Triangular Dominance C->A->B->C
4) A ->BC; BC->A
Alliance
Coordination of sp together against A dom.. ex, elephant seals
Cons of Olfaction
Takes a long time to take effect, limited in message being given
Olfactory communication
Chemical Communication evolved early.
Useful: Night or day uses, signal lasts for days, travel around solids. Cost effective.

Auditory Communication
Sound.
Useful: Immediate response, fast transmission, effective night or day, produced by single organism, can travel around objects.
Useful: Immediate response, fast transmission, effective night or day, produced by single organism, can travel around objects.
Cons of Auditory Cues
Worry about predators or prey hearing you
Underwater sounds
Travels much farther and faster underwater
Visual Communication
Receiver locates signaler in precise space and time. Signals can be very subtle
Why Flagging Behavior (1-5)
1) Distract predators from others in group
2) Worn others of possible predators
3) Confuse predator if a lot of flags go up
4) Signals to predator that they have been seen
5) Eliciting pre-mature pursuit "go away"
2) Worn others of possible predators
3) Confuse predator if a lot of flags go up
4) Signals to predator that they have been seen
5) Eliciting pre-mature pursuit "go away"
Tactile Communication
Physical touch
