Why is most communication among mammals olfactory and auditory, whereas communication among birds is visual and auditory? Answer in complete sentences. Answer is due on Friday February 11th.
The reason mammals use olfactory communication is because most are nocturnal. This means that they are active at night, and their sight is very poor during the night, so visual communication is relatively ineffective. Chemical communication is much more reliable. The reason birds can communicate visually is because they are diurnal, active mostly during the day, this means visually is a effective way of communicating.
Most communication among mammals is ol factory and auditory because they are nocturnal. Being nocturnal means that visual displays are somewhat ineffective. With ol factory and auditory signals mammals can communicate in dark and light. On the other hand birds are mostly dinural and use visual and auditory signals to communicate. Dinural means they are active mainly in the daytime, so the visual signals work very effectively.
Communication of an animal is based on the lifestyle and environment of the animal. Most mammals are nocturnal whereas most birds are diurnal. Interpretation of nocturnal is that visual displays are ineffective and they can see better at night, and diurnal is active mainly during the day. Abnormally humans even thought we are mammals are diurnal like birds. Meaning that we can detect sounds and sights and used that to communicate, therefore we often miss the chemical smells on which mammal’s behavior is usually based on.
Animals communicate based on there lifesyle and environment. Most mammals are nocturnal which makes visual displays ineffective. With this being said these species use olfactory and auditory signals which work in the dark and light. But most birds are diurnal which means active in the daytime and they communicate primarily by visual and auditory signals. Unlike mammals, humans are also diural. Which means we can detect certain sounds and sights but miss various chemical cues thats mammals base there behavior on.
The communication of animals is largely due to the environment, and at what periods of the day the animal is most active. For example; being that birds are mainly active throughout the day, visual and auditory communication is the most proficient way to communicate. Where as an animal that is most active throughout the night will find visual communication to be virtually useless. These particular nocturnal species rely on auditory and olfactory communication. You may ask what is olfactory communication? Olfactory communication is performed through smell. For example, a male might use olfactory communication to detect a female of the same species. The female releases chemicals into the air that distinguishes her as female and of the same species.
The communication of animals depend on the the animal's lifestlye and the environment in which it lives. Most nocturnal mammals use olfactory and auditory signals, because it works in both the light and darkness. However, birds are dinural and communicate mostly by visual and auditory due to the fact that they are more active in the daytime.
Essentially, the way an animal communicates through transmitting informating is primarily due to that particular animal's environment and way of living. Most mammals are nocturnal, a term used to classify species that have inefficient use of sight. Due to this, these mammals use olfactory and auditory signals, which work equally in the dark and in the light. In contrast to mammals using olfactory and auditory signals, birds may use visual and auditory signals. Birds are diurnal, meaning they are active mainly in the daytime. Due to this, they can equally use effective signals of sight and hearing!
Communication is essential in animals. The form of communication is used to transmit information and is closely related to an animal's lifestyle and enviorment. Unlike most mammals humans are diurnal and like birds, use auditory and visual communication.
Communication is essential in animals, so the reason their communication is different is because of the environment they live in. Most mammals are nocturnal and since they are like that they use olfactory and auditory signals. But since birds are active most of the time during the day so that is why they use auditory and visual communication.
I believe the reason most mammals use olfactory comunication is that most mammals are nocturnal. This means that the majority of the mammal inhabitnce of Earth are active through the night and not the day. So one can conclude that a mammal would be far more likely to use scents and auditory means of communication during the night. Unlike the mammals, birds are dinural. which means that birds are active during the day. So it would be far more likely for birds to use visual and auditory, being that they can see each other in the day light.
Just like communication is important with humans it is important with animals too. Mammals use olfactory communication because they are mostly nocturnal. Nocturnal means they are mainly active at night, not during the day. Many animals communicate through odors that emit chemical substances these chemical odors are called Pheromones. In many cases mammals and insects use this to communicate reproductive behavior. Birds use visual and auditory signals, because they are active more so during the day. In summation, birds use more visual and auditory signals, where as mammals use olfactory means to communicate.
Most terrestrial mammals are nocturnal, which makes visual displays relatively ineffective. Instead, these species use olfactory and auditory signals, which work as well in the dark as in the light. Birds are diurnal which means they are mainly active in the daytime and communicate primarily by visual and auditory signals. Humans are diurnal and like birds, we primarily visual and auditory communication. We can thus detect and appreciate the songs and bright colors used by birds to communicate but miss many chemical cues on which other mammals base their behavior.
The different forms of communication that are used between animals are closely related to the animal’s lifestyle and environment. For example, visual communication would not be effective for nocturnal animals. Mammals can use olfactory communication because they can detect chemicals released in the air through smell. Also, nocturnal mammals use auditory communication because they use sounds to interact with other individuals. Birds on the other hand communicate much like humans do. They use visual and auditory communication, Birds and humans can use visual communication because they are diurnal. or active mainly in the daytime. Since they are diurnal, birds and humans can see each other and interact through this means of communicating,
Since most animals are nocturnal, they don't really need great vision. Instead they need hearing (auditory) and smell (olfactory). Humans are like birds in that they are diurnal (day walkers) and use vision and auditory.
The way an animal communicates is determined by that particular animal's environment and way of living. Most mammals are nocturnal,so communication by visuals isn't very effective. Because they are nocturnal, mammals use olfactory and auditory signals, which works great for them since light & dark doesn't effect these communications much. Birds however, may use visual and auditory signals. Birds are diurnal, meaning they are active mainly in the daytime. Due to this, they can equally use effective signals of sight and hearing!
