The University of Cambridge Animal Communication Project

The University of Cambridge Animal Communication Project studies how animals convey information and emotions through their sounds, gestures, and behaviors. Researchers aim to understand the complexity of animal communication, revealing insights into their social interactions, cognition, and emotional states. By analyzing how animals communicate within and across species, the project advances scientific knowledge about animal minds and helps improve conservation, welfare, and human-animal relationships. It combines fields like ethology, linguistics, and neuroscience to explore the rich, often underappreciated, verbal and non-verbal worlds of animals.
