We have limited understanding of how a disease might spread in an animal population or how a population functions depending on the efficiency of information transmission between individuals. To address this gap a theory on the dynamics of information transmission, or transmission theory in brief, will be developed. By accounting for the movement of the animals and the transmission characteristics of the information being exchange, it is possible to predict how the information propagates through the population, being something harmful like an infection, or useful like knowledge about food resources. To do that a null model of information transmission for pairs of animals will be constructed and used to interpret ant movement data in a laboratory environment as well as bat and zebra movement data in the wild. In the ant case, transmission theory will be employed to explain how the frequency of interaction between individual ants regulate cyclic activity in the nest. In the bat case, it will be used to test whether roosts act as central location where information is transmitted to other individuals. In the zebra case, transmission theory will serve the purpose of predicting the spatial spread of anthrax infection in the population.

我们对疾病如何在动物种群中传播或种群如何根据个体之间的信息传递效率发挥作用的理解有限。为了解决这一差距的理论上的动态信息传输，或传输理论的简称，将开发。通过考虑动物的运动和信息交换的传播特征，可以预测信息如何在种群中传播，是有害的，如感染，还是有用的，如关于食物资源的知识。要做到这一点，一个空模型的信息传输对动物将被构建和用于解释蚂蚁运动数据在实验室环境中，以及蝙蝠和斑马运动数据在野外。在蚂蚁的例子中，传递理论将被用来解释个体蚂蚁之间的相互作用的频率如何调节巢中的循环活动。在蝙蝠的例子中，它将被用来测试栖息地是否作为信息传递给其他个体的中心位置。在斑马的例子中，传播理论将用于预测炭疽感染在人群中的空间传播。
