| Abstract | Information about predators is a primary driver in the development of animal signals communicating danger. Given that many species are social and share potential predators, many of these signals are shared amongst species that occur in multi-species groups. But do all species provide equally valuable information to others in their social community or are many species redundant in detecting and alerting others to danger? Does this make certain species in groups more important in providing informa |
