Different frequency control mechanisms and the exploitation of frequency space in passerines
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Birdsong is used in reproductive context and, consequently, has been shaped by strong natural and sexual selection. The acoustic performance includes a multitude of acoustic and temporal characteristics that are thought to honestly reveal the quality of ...

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Joint inquiry requires agents to exchange public content about some target domain, which in turn requires them to track which content a linguistic form contributes to a conversation. But, often, the inquiry delivers a necessary truth. For example, if we are inquiring whether a particular bird, Tweety, is a woodpecker, and discover that it is ...

Rules and mechanisms for efficient two-stage learning in neural circuits
eLife, 2017 Trial-and-error learning requires evaluating variable actions and reinforcing successful variants. In songbirds, vocal exploration is induced by LMAN, the output of a basal ganglia-related circuit that also contributes a corrective bias to the vocal ...

The toric h-vector of a cubical complex in terms of noncrossing partition statistics [PDF]
, 2013 This paper introduces a new and simple statistic on noncrossing partitions that expresses each coordinate of the toric $h$-vector of a cubical complex, written in the basis of the Adin $h$-vector entries, as the total weight of all noncrossing partitions.

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 81-98, March 2026.ABSTRACT Analysing recreational anglers in marine waters presents several challenges. First, while there are well‐established approaches to estimate fishing effort, they are only as good as the coverage of the underlying data, which invariably has blind spots that can bias estimates. Additionally, tracking anglers' movements over time and their fishing

The Emergence of Hierarchical Structure in Human Language
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 We propose a novel account for the emergence of human language syntax. Like many evolutionary innovations, language arose from the adventitious combination of two pre-existing, simpler systems that had been evolved for other functional tasks.
