Influence of Anthropogenic Sounds on Insect, Anuran and Bird Acoustic Signals: A Meta-Analysis
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Acoustic communication is a way of information exchange between individuals, and it is used by several animal species. Therefore, the detection, recognition and correct understanding of acoustic signals are key factors in effective communication.

Animal Communication in Linguistic and Cognitive Perspective
Annual Review of Linguistics, 2022 Detailed comparative studies have revealed many surface similarities between linguistic communication and the communication of nonhumans. How should we interpret these discoveries in linguistic and cognitive perspective?

GeoDanceHive: An Operational Hive for Honeybees Dances Recording
Animals, 2023 Honeybees are known for their ability to communicate about resources in their environment. They inform the other foragers by performing specific dance sequences according to the spatial characteristics of the resource.

Signalling in groups: New tools for the integration of animal communication and collective movement
, 2023 Investigations of collective movement and animal communication have often followed distinct, though complementary, trajectories. Both subfields are deeply concerned with how information flows between individuals and shapes subsequent behaviour ...

Animal Communication: Timing Counts [PDF]
Current Biology, 2007 Collective signalling in animals has fascinated biologists for a long time. A recent study on Australian songbirds sheds new light on the function of highly coordinated avian duets.

How signaling geometry shapes the efficacy and evolution of animal communication systems.
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2021 Animal communication is inherently spatial. Both signal transmission and signal reception have spatial biases-involving direction, distance and position-that interact to determine signaling efficacy.

An ecological and neurobiological perspective on the evolution of vocal learning
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Vocal production learning (VPL) involves the use of auditory experience to guide the production of novel signals or to modify pre-existing signals. It allows animals to develop signals that are more complex and/or more flexible than innately developed ...

The Pastoral Origin of Semiotically Functional Tonal Organization of Music
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 This paper presents a new line of inquiry into when and how music as a semiotic system was born. Eleven principal expressive aspects of music each contains specific structural patterns whose configuration signifies a certain affective state.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 To function effectively, animal signals must transmit through the environment to receivers, and signal transmission properties depend on signal form. Here we investigated how the transmission of multiple parts of a well-studied signal, bird song, varies ...

Categorical perception in animal communication and decision-making
Behavioral Ecology, 2020 The information an animal gathers from its environment, including that associated with signals, often varies continuously. Animals may respond to this continuous variation in a physical stimulus as lying in discrete categories rather than along a ...
