Six decades later, Marler, professor emeritus of neurobiology, physiology and behavior at UC Davis, has been elected as a foreign member of the Royal Society for his work on communication in birds and primates.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.news.ucdavis.edu/search/news_detail.lasso?id=8693"><P>One of his discoveries, with Tom Struhsaker, Dorothy Cheney and Robert Seyfarth, was that African vervet monkeys have distinct alarm calls for different kinds of predators such as eagles or snakes. This was the first known example of an animal using symbolic communication. Marler also visited Jane Goodall's study site in Tanzania to study chimpanzee calls.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.news.ucdavis.edu/search/news_detail.lasso?id=8693"><P>There are distinct differences between bird and primate communications, Marler said. Birdsong is purely an emotional display lacking any grammar, symbolism or anything like "words," he said. "It can be very rich but it is not symbolic in any way."</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1E35D718-665C-4F4D-804F-C442D20E08CE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
