Abstract
Chronometry for the chorusing herd: Hamilton's legacy on context-dependent acoustic signalling—a comment on Herbers (2013)
Highlights
Once formulated in these terms, it is clear how the mechanics of Hamilton’s spatial predation model map one-to-one onto the acoustic signalling mechanism
After Hamilton, that individuals A, B and C are located on a circular lily pond [2]
Context-dependent signalling time period (1 unit) acoustic signal produced by agent time of signal produced by agent signal delay or anticipation time elapsed between two agents’ signals
Summary
Once formulated in these terms, it is clear how the mechanics of Hamilton’s spatial predation model map one-to-one onto the acoustic signalling mechanism. After Hamilton, that individuals A, B and C are located on a circular lily pond [2]. Instead of delaying or anticipating their signal phase/timing, they try to hide in-between other individuals. A occupies an isolated position on the pond, making it vulnerable to predators.
