This volume offers a comprehensive reference to the latest research on dolphin communication and cognition, reporting on findings from both the laboratory and the field. The contributors review a wide range of topics, including vocalization, abstract reasoning abilities, imitation and learning, social cognition, echolocation, and ethical issues in working with cetaceans. The book begins by examining the dolphin brain and its evolution, the anatomy of its unique sound production and reception systems, and its sensory abilities. It next treats communication, reviewing the complexity of dolphins' vocalization, and then describes research on cognition, from both experimental and developmental perspectives. Finally, the book considers the future of dolphin research, including a series of provocative questions that remain unanswered, posed by the volume's expert contributors"--MIT CogNet.DolphinsBehaviorDolphinsPsychologyAnimal communicationCognition in animalsElectronic books.DolphinsBehavior.DolphinsPsychology.Animal communication.Cognition in animals.599.53/1513Herzing Denise L.Johnson Christine M.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461577603321Dolphin communication and cognition2070148UNINA01777nam 2200505 a 450 991070185390332120120622134244.0(CKB)5470000002421569(OCoLC)796086881(EXLCZ)99547000000242156920120622d2011 ua 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierA concept for flexible operations and optimized traffic into metroplex regions[electronic resource] /Daniel DeLaurentis ...
