As described in the chapter, animals may use many signaling modalities to communicate information to conspecifics; that is, signals may be visual, chemical, electrical, acoustic or vibratory. Imagine that you are studying signalerreceiver behavior in the context of aggressive disputes in a certain species of fish known to use visual, chemical, and acoustic cues during contests. Design a series of experiments that would allow you to tease apart the relative contribution of these different signaling modalities to the dynamics and outcome of aggressive contests in these fish.
