Why Are No Animal Communication Systems Simple Languages? [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Individuals of some animal species have been taught simple versions of human language despite their natural communication systems failing to rise to the level of a simple language.

Plant–animal communication [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2012 There are numerous excellent books about plant–pollinator and plant–herbivore interactions, and books about plant defence, but none of these covers the process of communication between plants and animals as comprehensively as this volume. The authors define communication as occuring ‘if traits of the sender stimulate the sensory systems of the receiver

Syntax and compositionality in animal communication. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2020 Syntax has been found in animal communication but only humans appear to have generative, hierarchically structured syntax. How did syntax evolve? I discuss three theories of evolutionary transition from animal to human syntax: computational capacity, structural flexibility and event perception.

A systems approach to animal communication. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2016 Why animal communication displays are so complex and how they have evolved are active foci of research with a long and rich history. Progress towards an evolutionary analysis of signal complexity, however, has been constrained by a lack of hypotheses to explain similarities and/or differences in signalling systems across taxa.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Source level is one factor that determines the effectiveness of animal signal transmissions and their acoustic communication active space. Ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS) are platforms of opportunity to monitor marine species because they record data as ...

A primer on rhythm quantification for fish sounds: a Mediterranean case study
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 We have used a lately established workflow to quantify rhythms of three fish sound types recorded in different areas of the Mediterranean Sea. So far, the temporal structure of fish sound sequences has only been described qualitatively.

Vocal communication in nonhuman animals: View from the wings [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2020 Forty years ago, Seyfarth, Cheney, and Marler published two papers claiming semanticity for wild vervet monkey alarms calls. The papers arrived at an extremely interesting and active time in the study of animal behavior—a period during which researchers,
