Evolution of Communication is a broadly conceived journal providing an interdisciplinary forum for fields sharing an interest in communication, including evolutionary biology, behavioral ecology, animal behavior, primatology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, cognitive science, neuroscience, social and developmental psychology, cultural and biological anthropology. Evolution of Communication is published twice a year, to become quarterly, and contains both empirical and theoretical studies in addition to review articles. Special issues will be devoted to topics of broad interest and will include target articles and reaction papers to them.
The Editor invites relevant contributions which may be sent, in triplicate, to:
