Formant analysis of vertebrate vocalizations: achievements, pitfalls, and promises [PDF]
BMC BiologyWhen applied to vertebrate vocalizations, source-filter theory, initially developed for human speech, has revolutionized our understanding of animal communication, resulting in major insights into the form and function of animal sounds.

Nonlinear phenomena make animal calls alarming for human listeners [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Animal vocalizations are extremely diverse, and evolutionary approaches to understanding this diversity assume some mapping between their acoustic form and communicative function, with specific features serving universal roles.

Continental-scale behavioral response of birds to a total solar eclipse [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBased on anecdotal evidence and research involving human observation and community science, radar analyses, and acoustical studies, birds are thought to stop singing and engage in nighttime behaviors such as roosting during a total solar eclipse. However,

Transferable Models for Bioacoustics with Human Language Supervision [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2023 Passive acoustic monitoring offers a scalable, non-invasive method for tracking global biodiversity and anthropogenic impacts on species. Although deep learning has become a vital tool for processing this data, current models are inflexible, typically ...

Standardisation of bioacoustic terminology for insects [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020 After reviewing the published literature on sound production in insects, a standardised terminology and controlled vocabularies have been created. This combined terminology has potential for use in automated identification systems, evolutionary studies, and other use cases where the synthesis of bioacoustic traits from the literature is required.

Current Biology, 2017 The marine environment is the planet's largest, yet in many respects the least accessible. Our human sensory repertoire, with its emphasis on vision and air-adapted hearing, does not serve us well underwater. Underwater vision is often limited and as divers we find hearing of little, or no, use.
