Semi-automatic classification of birdsong elements using a linear support vector machine. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Birdsong provides a unique model for understanding the behavioral and neural bases underlying complex sequential behaviors. However, birdsong analyses require laborious effort to make the data quantitatively analyzable.

Vocal Learning and Behaviors in Birds and Human Bilinguals: Parallels, Divergences and Directions for Research

open access: yesLanguages, 2021
Comparisons between the communication systems of humans and animals are instrumental in contextualizing speech and language into an evolutionary and biological framework and for illuminating mechanisms of human communication.

Does learning matter? Birdsong-learning program determines coping strategies for living in urban noisy environments

open access: yesBehavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2023
Urban noise limits perception by masking acoustic signals, with negative consequences for communication. Although animals relying on acoustic communication are affected, they have developed different strategies to reduce the masking effect of urban noise.

Origin of symbol-using systems: speech, but not sign, without the semantic urge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Natural language—spoken and signed—is a multichannel phenomenon, involving facial and body expression, and voice and visual intonation that is often used in the service of a social urge to communicate meaning.
