Animals communicate using a range of signals, from whispered calls between mates to the elaborate displays of courting males. Explaining the structure and diversity of such signals has been a central problem in the study of animal communication. Studies on adult animals show that acoustic signals are often structured in ways that help transmit the signal through the environment and improve reception by receivers.

动物使用一系列信号进行交流，从配偶之间的低声叫声到雄性求爱时的精心展示。解释此类信号的结构和多样性一直是动物交流研究的中心问题。对成年动物的研究表明，声音信号的结构通常有助于在环境中传输信号并改善接收器的接收效果。
