Abstract

Animal audience effect studies often focus on rate and latency changes in signals.Human audience effect studies focus on fine-grained changes in signals.Fine-grained analysis answers a broader range of questions about audience effects.Animal behaviour research could benefit from fine-grained signal analyses.
