Emotional and Interactional Prosody across Animal Communication Systems: A Comparative Approach to the Emergence of Language. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2016 Across a wide range of animal taxa, prosodic modulation of the voice can express emotional information and is used to coordinate vocal interactions between multiple individuals. Within a comparative approach to animal communication systems, I hypothesize

Testing a key assumption in animal communication: between-individual variation in female visual systems alters perception of male signals. [PDF]
Biol Open, 2017 Variation in male signal production has been extensively studied because of its relevance to animal communication and sexual selection. Although we now know much about the mechanisms that can lead to variation between males in the properties of their ...

New synthesis: animal communication mediated by microbes: fact or fantasy? [PDF]
J Chem Ecol, 2013 We are not alone. The metabolic potential of all animals is augmented by that of a vast diversity of resident microbes. All animals bear many, metabolically diverse microorganisms that are responsible for a significant fraction of the inventory of ...

A Theory of Unsupervised Translation Motivated by Understanding Animal Communication [PDF]
Neural Information Processing Systems, 2022 Recent years have seen breakthroughs in neural language models that capture nuances of language, culture, and knowledge. Neural networks are capable of translating between languages -- in some cases even between two languages where there is little or no ...

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,
