Signaling species occurring in sympatry areoften exposed to similar environmental constraints, so similar adaptations to enhance signal efficacy are expected.

Quantifying ecological constraints on motion signaling
The environment in which animal signals are generated has the potential to affect transmission and reliable detection by receivers. To
Intraspecific variation in motion displays
Habitat characteristics influence the efficacy of animal communication, and population differences insignal structure due to habitat variation are well known

Social context and tail displays by Chinese dragons
Competition between animals for limited resources often involves signaling to establish ownership ordominance. In some species, the defended resource relates
