定量显示,系统间通讯发生在虾虎鱼大陆虾虎鱼和两种虾(Alpheus rapax 和 A)之间的行为、互利共生关系中。 rapacida,利用信息论和χ2分析。虾虎鱼和虾之间的交流主要是触觉的。虾虎鱼利用虾挖掘和维护的洞穴作为庇护所。虾虎鱼坐在洞穴入口处,通过摇动尾巴来警告虾有危险。虾通过用触角接触虾虎鱼来传达它们在洞穴外的存在。在没有虾的情况下,虾虎鱼不会发出警告信号。据推测,自然界中洞穴的间距是三种通信系统复杂相互作用的结果:虾之间以及虾虎鱼和虾之间的触觉通信以及虾虎鱼之间的视觉通信。建议将此处使用的分析技术应用于其他共生关联的分析。
Interphyletic communication is quantitatively shown to occur in a behavioural, mutualistic symbiotic association between the gobyPsilogobius mainlandiand two species of shrimps,Alpheus rapaxandA. rapacida, by the use of information theory andχ2analyses. Communication between gobies and shrimps is primarily tactual. Gobies use as shelter burrows dug and maintained by shrimps. Gobies sit at the burrow entrance and warn shrimps of danger by a flick of the tail. Shrimps communicate their presence outside the burrow by touching gobies with their antennae. Gobies never give warning signals in the absence of shrimps. It is postulated that the spacing of the burrows in nature is a result of the complex interaction of three communication systems: tactual communication among shrimps and between gobies and shrimps and visual communication among gobies. It is suggested that the analysis techniques used here be applied to the analysis of other symbiotic associations.
