"Animal Communications: A Link to the Greater"
given by Dr. Laurance R. Doyle, Ph.D.

Description: In this one-hour lecture we will discuss some recent research being done to try to understand and measure the complexity of animal communication systems. In particular, some research with bottlenose dolphins will show how their communication system maybe develop from simple to complex system as baby dolphins reach adulthood. Also, we will discuss how measuring humpback whale communication systems may help us understand their reaction to humanly induced environmental conditions. The program will contain an audio component so that we can actually hear what various animal communication systems sound like.
