with predators. Calls by prey during pursuit: the merlin and the skylark.
Warning colors (aposematic coloration). Signaling to prey. Cooperation
between prey and predators without communication. Preconditions for
prey-predator communication.
chapter 2 COMMUNICATION BETWEEN RIVALS 15
Threats as a substitute for aggression: are humans worse than beasts?
Handicaps as keys for reliable threats. Threats by approaching. Threats by
stretching—deceit or exposure to danger? Threats by vocalization. Other
vi CONTENTS
threats. Social hierarchies and duels between equals. Can threat signals
evolve for the good of the group? The drawbacks of group selection.
Chapter 3 MATE SELECTION 2 5
The conflict inherent in courtship. Courtship handicaps and the infor-
mation they convey: feeding ability, superterritories, courtship vocaliza-
tion, colors, scents (pheromones), artifacts and constructions, com-
binations of signals, long tails, movements and dances. Leks: congregating
for display. Polymorphic species and males that mimic females. Fisher s
model of the Runaway Process compared with the Handicap Principle.
Utilitarian selection and signal selection.
FART II METHODS OF COMMUNICATION
CHAPTER 4 THE FALLACY OF SPECIES-SPECIFIC SIGNALS 43
Did decoration evolve to identify species, gender, and age? The evolution
of common markings through competition between individuals. Markings
and the traits they advertise: lines and stripes, patches and frames that
bring out body parts. Implications of the Handicap Principle: the use of
markings to focus on features. Symmetry. Eye patterns. The evolution
of markings; polymorphism and convergence. Facial markings and the
direction of gaze. Status badges or handicaps? Are there signals without
handicaps? Are there any signals that are conventions? The definition of
signals; inflation as a test of the theory of signal selection.
chapter 5 MOVEMENTS AND RITUALIZATION 61

formation conveyed? How a ritualized signal evolves.
CHAPTER 6 VOCALIZATIONS 6 9

veyed by vocal signals. Animal vocabularies: the connection between the
message and its vocal pattern. Rhythm. Vocal patterns used over distance.

logues and their significance. Mimicry. Do animals have verbal language?
chapter 7 BODY PARTS THAT SERVE AS SICNALS 81
Long tails: are they signals? Bristling hair or feathers: an illusion of size,
or a handicap? Manes and crests. Handicaps that interfere with vision.
Body parts that emphasize the direction of gaze. Body parts that handicap

fighting. Can body parts evolve to reduce the cost of signals? The evolution
of horns and antlers. Signal selection and the evolution of feathers.
