Try using the "So Test" here.

Animal communication is a universal phenomenon that has existed across different species throughout history. "So", biologists have conducted many comparative analyses of animal communication across various species from various habitats.

This doesn't make sense. Let's try it the other way.

Biologists have conducted many comparative analyses of animal communication across various species from various habitats. "So", animal communication is a universal phenomenon that has existed across different species throughout history.

This also doesn't make sense.

The claim that biologists conducting many comparative analyses of animal communication being more true doesn't make the claim that animal communication is a universal phenomenon more true.

Remember to not ask yourself if the claim is true based on your knowledge of the world, but if the truth of one claim increases the likelihood of the truth of another claim.

Hope that helps.

This was intended as a response to someone's question. I didn't mean to post the previous comment as its own comment. Apologies for any confusion.
