Biocommunication (science)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the study of the biological sciences the general term Biocommunication is used to describe more specific types of communication within or between species of plants and/or animals. Its basis may include mechanisms as vocalizations (as between competing bird species), pheremone production (as between various species of insects),[1]chemical signals between plants and animals (as in tannin production used by vascular plants to warn away insects), and chemically mediated communication between plants.[2] [3]
[edit] Biocommunication and Linguistics
In the study of linguistics, abstract biocommunication theory may be considered to be a form of biosemiotics, and a subdiscipline of semiotic theory. Biocommunication specific to animals (animal communication) is considered a branch of zoosemiotics. The semiotic study of molecular genetics, can be considered a study of biocommunication at its most basic level. [4]
