Do Animals of the Same Species Communicate Differently?

AI Thread Summary
Animal communication varies among individuals within the same species, similar to human communication. While animals use body language and sounds to convey messages, there is a belief that not all animals of the same species communicate identically, particularly in different geographical areas. Unlike humans, who share consistent communication patterns through posture, tone, and expression, it is suggested that animals, such as cats, may not have distinct languages but rather exhibit variations in their communication methods.

As we all know, animal can communicate with each other with body language, sounds, etc. just like human. But does every animal of the same species communicate the same way? For example, are cats in different areas communicate the same way?

On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...

Thread 'Fermentation using mixed legume and grain feedstock'

I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand. I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question). I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
