Food-elicited vocalizations in golden lion tamarins: design features for representational communication
Article Abstract:
A study exploring the food-elicited vocalizations in golden lion tamarins was conducted using six golden lion tamarins. Twelve different food types were presented and vocalizations characterizing them were collected. Two types of vocalizations were discovered; one being affective relating to emotional or individualizing information and the other being representational. Tamarins apparently divide their food into two groups, preferred and non-preferred.

Economic models of animal communication
Article Abstract:
It is agreed that animal signals modulate decision making by signal receivers. It is shown that the strategy for decision making used by a receiver without access to signals could be critical to the outcome of signal evolution models. The results of a study supports the prediction of sensory drive models that latent preferences could selectively favour some signal precursors over others.

Temporal shift in the presence of a chemical cue contributes to a diel shift in sociality
Article Abstract:
Research is presented describing the use of Y-maze shelter choice experiments to study the influence of spiny lobsters's scent on shelter choice. The impact of chemical cue on diel shifts in sociality among lobsters is described.
