研究动物如何导航空间和时间是理解交流的关键。空间定位或定时的微小差异可能意味着收到的消息和错过的连接之间的差异。然而，这些时空动力学往往被忽视，或受到简化的假设在动物信号的调查。这期特刊通过整合具有神经科学，认知生态学，感觉生态学，计算机科学，进化生物学，动物行为学和哲学学科背景的研究人员的工作来解决这一重大的知识差距。这篇特刊的介绍概述了新颖的问题和方法，这些问题和方法将促进我们对动物交流的时空动态的理解。我们强调的论文，考虑跨感官形态和社会背景的行为时空动态的演变。我们总结的贡献，解决的神经和生理机制，形状通信的接收器。然后，我们转向介绍尖端技术的论文，这些技术将彻底改变我们在社会交往中跟踪个人时空动态的能力。产生这些论文的跨学科合作部分来自一种新颖的研讨会-研讨会模式，我们为那些有兴趣促进跨学科综合的人简要总结了这种模式。
Investigating how animals navigate space and time is key to understanding communication. Small differences in spatial positioning or timing can mean the difference between a message received and a missed connection. However, these spatio-temporal dynamics are often overlooked or are subject to simplifying assumptions in investigations of animal signaling. This special issue addresses this significant knowledge gap by integrating work from researchers with disciplinary backgrounds in neuroscience, cognitive ecology, sensory ecology, computer science, evolutionary biology, animal behavior, and philosophy. This introduction to the special issue outlines the novel questions and approaches that will advance our understanding of spatio-temporal dynamics of animal communication. We highlight papers that consider the evolution of spatio-temporal dynamics of behavior across sensory modalities and social contexts. We summarize contributions that address the neural and physiological mechanisms in senders and receivers that shape communication. We then turn to papers that introduce cutting edge technologies that will revolutionize our ability to track spatio-temporal dynamics of individuals during social encounters. The interdisciplinary collaborations that gave rise to these papers emerged in part from a novel workshop-symposium model, which we briefly summarize for those interested in fostering syntheses across disciplines.
