Concept explainers

Communication

Communication is a method of transferring information between two persons or organisms. Communication is possible using mutually understood behaviors such as signs, symbols, or language. In the year 1980, S. F. Scudder proposed communication theory. According to his ideas, all living beings on the earth communicate, but the methods of communication differ. Communication skills are now part of soft skills.

10 Consider a fish of a schooling species that has damage to its eyes (Fish X) compared to a fish of the same species that has healthy eyesight (Fish Y). Use the drop-down menus below to complete an argument about how the survival outcomes for these two fish may be different. Fish Y would be less more likely to survive a large predator than Fish X. Fish X Fish Y would not be as likely to sense the individual fish around it in the group and, as a result, may not maintain proper spacing. It may also lose its way from the group and its protection, resulting in decreased survival outcomes when compared to Fish X Fish Y .
