The acoustic communication of bats...

In places like central Texas, thousands of bats fly nightly over the heads of human witnesses, singing songs made with complex syllables, but at frequencies too high for us to hear that. 

Researcher Michael Smotherman, of that university, is trying to understand how the bat Tadarida brasiliensis organizes the syllables in "songs" and how their communication with the brain is related. 
Bats communicate at such high frequencies through echolocation ability (its ability to project sound and use the echoes to determine the direction and distance of objects). As the frequency of the bat is higher, improve resolution (get a more detailed "picture") of its surroundings. 

These bats employ between 15 and 20 syllables to create calls. Each male has its unique courtship song. The pattern of all courtship songs is similar to the others, but each male bat uses a different syllable in its distinctive song. Bats also use sophisticated vocal communication to draw boundaries, define social status, repel intruders, instruct offspring and recognize each other. 

"No other mammal, apart from humans, is able to use such complex vocal sequences to communicate," Smotherman says.

Communication from bats...

The communication of bats due to blindness affecting the species, bats must rely on sonar or echolocation to detect the location of objects around them. 

Echolocation is an important survival tool, as it facilitates the hunt for food, travel and even locate some predators. 


But how bats speak to each other? This can be a bat, bat different because many species in the family. Typically, bats communicate using chirps and songs that emit at higher frequencies, usually too high for a human hear that. They communicate at frequencies that can be detected by the human ear, this has led to a variety of studies and scientific institutions worldwide.

The intelligence of dolphins to communicate.

The echolocation sounds produced in the nostrils just below his nostrils, and are called clicks. Sometimes occur in such rapid succession that sound like buzzing. These sounds are made just behind the Mellon, an oil, a little out of the center of mass could be called a dolphin's forehead. 
Scientists are not entirely sure how the Mellon works but seems to expand and clarify the echolocation sounds and can play an important role in the collection of sounds that bounce. 

Dolphins communicate like most other animals, their shrieks and whistles and often communicate emotional states, the presence of danger and the food in the area.





Dolphin language ...


This day talk about dolphin language is to express different sounds like squeals, grunts, chirps and pops. 
These sounds follow a pattern and help you communicate with other dolphins. Studies indicate that dolphins call each other by name. 

The brain of a dolphin is superior to the human as far as size is concerned, but it is also in their complexity. 
clicks are a system of echolocation, similar to bats, dolphins allows navigate and detect prey with ease. 
Regarding whistles, even tone sounds are coming from the deepest part of the larynx. States are used to communicate alarm, sexual excitement and perhaps other emotional states. 


Studies with captive animals have shown that dolphins are able to learn, perform tasks with some degree of complexity, and communicate with each other through training, vocalize sounds similar to words. Based on this, some researchers have suggested that dolphins could learn a language itself and communicate with humans. However, most experts maintain that skill set, and that put the Dolphins with a similar level of intelligence to primates, are not sufficient to demonstrate that their vocalizations to achieve the complexity of a real language test.

Communication of parakeets....

This day speak of the form of communication to the parakeets. Certainly people imitate some other words and tones of voice.

In nature, or in its natural habitat, these spices as well as other, communicate through sounds. Parrots learn from their mothers some sounds that copied to communicate.
The problem is that the tame (or lock them in cages) sounds more human voices are heard, and instinctively repeat them as a form of communication. But they do not know those words mean simply reproduce the sounds.

Communication between dogs and humans.

Communication between dogs and people is undoubtedly possible.


The language of dogs.

The language of dogs. 

Like humans, dogs use various means of expression to communicate with their peers and by extension, us. The main channels of communication used are the olfactory, visual and vocal.



The olfactory channel: 
Smell is the sense that dogs have more developed array can detect and distinguish odors, odors that we do not even notice it. 
Dogs use their smell to identify themselves to other dogs, it's like a letter in which provides a record of their social rank, state of genital responsiveness, race ... 



The visual channel:
The visual acuity of dogs is less than human and even to recognize someone is not sufficient just to view them, use this sense to decode different gestures and postures. Facial expressions associated with body postures indicate a dog's emotional state and social rank of another dog. For example, dominant dogs, raised carriage of ears and calm appearance of the rest of the face translated position. 



The voice channel: 

Bark: is the way they express their dogs wide range of emotions. People often think that barking dogs are aggressive but, as we shall see, barking is not synonymous with aggression. When a dog is barking for some reason, barking is a way to get attention, to warn, to indicate whether there are any unusual close as to express the will to play, eat, drink ... 

The growl: A dog growls when it feels threatened or wants to threaten. The grunt is a grunt and sustained sound, depending on whether the dog bares his teeth or not, the threat is more or less forceful. 

The whine: can mean either sorrow and joy:

- Pain: long, plaintive sound.
- Joy: Short and continuous sound, accompanied by a lot of movement.

Communication of chimpanzees...

Continue to talk a little about how animal communication. I find it very interesting as without having a specific lenguje each animal species communicate in different ways; for example primates, especially chimpanzees make sounds, makes smile, gestures, have the ability to pronounce short phrases. They make hand signals and use different symbols of communication.
Several investigations show us that chimps have the ability to have a language can acquire a vocabulary after several years of preparation. So we wonder if it is possible that an animal species may have the same capacity to communication than humans?
  What do you think? You might think that these animals develop a lenguje or perhaps several languages ​​at once?

The language expresses different forms of communication and expression.


In the world there are different forms of communication, the language varies in each country. But someday we wondered how they communicate each animal. For example we know that when our dog happy or sad?   Animals use different forms of communication, such as gestures, wag their tails, they use their body, sounds, its smell, etc. 

I leave this video, is a dog showing his happiness or you are saying?





WELCOME TO MY NEW BLOG!!

Welcome to my new blog. 

This time we'll talk about Language and communication.

Continue visiting my page and comment on this issue is very interesting, 

because they know the language of different animals.
