Quantifying song behavior in a free‐living, light‐weight, mobile bird using accelerometers

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
To acquire a fundamental understanding of animal communication, continuous observations in a natural setting and at an individual level are required. Whereas the use of animal‐borne acoustic recorders in vocal studies remains challenging, light‐weight ...

Five themes for ecostylistics

open access: yesJournal of World Languages, 2022
Fundamentally, meaning is organized along two dimensions, similarity and contiguity, corresponding to two areas of the brain primarily responsible for language processing, Wernicke’s area and Broca’s area, respectively.

Automated detection and classification of birdsong: An ensemble approach

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2020
Abstract The avian dawn chorus presents a challenging opportunity to test autonomous recording units (ARUs) and associated recogniser software in the types of complex acoustic environments frequently encountered in the natural world. To date, extracting information from acoustic surveys using readily-available signal recognition tools (‘recognisers’)

Enhancing the dissimilarity-based classification of birdsong recordings

open access: yesEcological Informatics, 2016
Abstract Classification of birdsong recordings can be naturally formulated as a multiple instance problem, where bags of instances are represented by either features or dissimilarities. In bioacoustics, bags typically correspond to regions of interest in spectrograms, which are detected after a segmentation stage of the audio recordings.

Multiple Signaling Functions Of Song In A Polymorphic Species With Alternative Reproductive Strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Vocal traits can be sexually selected to reflect male quality, but may also evolve to serve additional signaling functions. We used a long-term dataset to examine the signaling potential of song in dimorphic white-throated sparrows (Zonotrichia ...

A computer vision approach to classification of birds in flight from video sequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Bird populations are an important bio-indicator; so collecting reliable data is useful for ecologists helping conserve and manage fragile ecosystems. However, existing manual monitoring methods are labour-intensive, time-consuming, and error-prone.

Fast and robust learning by reinforcement signals: explorations in the insect brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We propose a model for pattern recognition in the insect brain. Departing from a well-known body of knowledge about the insect brain, we investigate which of the potentially present features may be useful to learn input patterns rapidly and in a stable ...
