L1 transfer in the acquisition of manner and path in Spanish by native speakers of English [PDF]

, 2012
In this article the authors argue that L1 transfer from English is not only important in the early stages of L2 acquisition of Spanish, but remains influential in later stages if there is not enough positive evidence for the learners to progress in their

Efficient Masked Autoencoder for Birdsong Representation with Applications on Wild Bird Species Classification

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

Birdsong: Not all contest but also cooperation?

Current Biology, 2023
Birdsong generally functions to defend territories from same-sex competitors and to attract mates. Wild zebra finch males now are shown to sing prolifically outside the breeding season and without defending territories, suggesting potential social functions for birdsong beyond competition.

animal2vec and MeerKAT: A self‐supervised transformer for rare‐event raw audio input and a large‐scale reference dataset for bioacoustics

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Bioacoustic research, vital for promoting conservation and understanding animal behaviour and ecology, faces a monumental challenge: analysing vast datasets where animal vocalizations are rare. While deep learning techniques are becoming standard, adapting them to bioacoustics remains difficult.

Interactive extraction of diverse vocal units from a planar embedding without the need for prior sound segmentation

Frontiers in Bioinformatics, 2023
Annotating and proofreading data sets of complex natural behaviors such as vocalizations are tedious tasks because instances of a given behavior need to be correctly segmented from background noise and must be classified with minimal false positive error

Goal-directed and flexible modulation of syllable sequence within birdsong

Nature Communications
Songs constitute a complex system of vocal signals for inter-individual communication in songbirds. Here, we elucidate the flexibility which songbirds exhibit in the organizing and sequencing of syllables within their songs.

Effects of political identity activation and inaccurate metaperceptions on attitudes toward wolves

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Polarization between groups can undermine durable conservation outcomes. Activating group identities (i.e., an individual's sense of self derived from membership in a group) can exacerbate differences, especially when people hold inaccurate perceptions of their peers and rivals.

Structural-functional characteristics of two song types in Phylloscopus humei (Phylloscopidae)

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2023
Several songbird species use two singing modes, which are functionally different. The first mode is preferentially used at the beginning of the breeding cycle, and serves to attract females, while the second mode is used later in the season as well as ...

From behaviour to birdsong: reorienting the object of physical activity intervention

Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health
Physical (in)activity is a seemingly intractable public health problem that has spawned decades of behavioural research and intervention. Globally, efforts to improve physical activity levels have been largely unsuccessful, prompting researchers and ...
