On the representation of hierarchical structure: Revisiting Darwin’s musical protolanguage
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 In this article, we address the tenability of Darwin’s musical protolanguage, arguing that a more compelling evolutionary scenario is one where a prosodic protolanguage is taken to be the preliminary step to represent the hierarchy involved in linguistic

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.We demonstrated that Awaous tajasica performs facultative air breathing under experimental conditions of dissolved oxygen limitation, retaining air bubbles in the buccal cavity during gill ventilation. Morpho‐functional evidence indicates the use of atmospheric oxygen as a respiratory support under conditions of low water oxygenation.
