Animal signals
their prominence can be hard for even a casual observer to overlook. Animal signals therefore raise many scientific questions: What are their functions? What information do they transmit? How are they produced? And why did they evolve? Pioneering empirical work on animal signals was carried out by Karl von Frisch, Konrad Lorenz, and Niko Tinbergen, three ethologists who were awarded the Nobel P...

But what was the nature of this information? How did it influence behaviour? And how might the information in animal signals...
متن کاملThe role of transport signals and retention signals in constitutive export from animal cells.
The question: 'Do proteins using the constitutive secretory pathway need signals to be retained or signals to be transported?', has been a fertile source of speculation over the last decade or so. This is at least partly because little direct evidence bearing on the problem has been available until recently. The speculators have fallen into two groups, whose positions can be oversimplified as f...

These signals are usually termed ‘‘alarm calls’’ (from old Italian ‘‘all’ arme’’ meaning ‘‘to arms’’ on the approach of an enemy), but ‘‘distress,’’ ‘‘alert,’’ or ‘‘mobbing calls’’ are also common, usually in cases where the calls are given in conjunction with some...
