Talk:Alarm signal

Suggest move

Perhaps this should be moved to alarm signal, as alarm signals need not be auditory. A good example here is in fish, where alarm calls are quite impossible, and pheromones may be used instead. Richard001 03:07, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Being bold, as always. Moved. Richard001 00:40, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, I added in some additional information about alarm calls that I thought could be useful to your article. Nlstudent18 (talk) 01:57, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

High-frequency sounds are harder to localize - is this true?

I don't know but it doesn't *seem* true.

The reference given points to an essay which, in turn, references this article: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/229702472_The_Predator_Deterrence_Function_of_Primate_Alarm_Calls

My reading of that article says the opposite - that LOW frequencies are difficult to localise and are used when being hunted by predators that rely on hearing (eg. chimps). HIGH frequencies are used when being hunted by leopards that rely primarily on their eyes and pouncing.

Anyone who knows about this able to clarify? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebrownchef (talk • contribs) 04:39, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
