A computational framework to characterize and compare the tonal repertoires of toothed whales
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Toothed whales, despite being one of the most acoustically specialized lineages of vertebrates, lack detailed vocal repertoire characterizations comparable to those of songbirds and primates. Current descriptions often lack standardization, limiting interspecies and intraspecies comparisons critical for understanding the contribution of ...

Forgetting in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes): What is the role of interference?
PLoS ONE, 2020 Humans are constantly acquiring new information and skills. However, forgetting is also a common phenomenon in our lives. Understanding the lability of memories is critical to appreciate how they are formed as well as forgotten.

Remote Sensing Image Fusion Based on Two-stream Fusion Network [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Remote sensing image fusion (also known as pan-sharpening) aims at generating high resolution multi-spectral (MS) image from inputs of a high spatial resolution single band panchromatic (PAN) image and a low spatial resolution multi-spectral image. Inspired by the astounding achievements of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in a variety of computer ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We developed a population viability analysis to inform reintroduction strategies for the endangered Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus), incorporating age‐specific vital rates, release costs on survival and reproduction, environmental and demographic stochasticity, and catastrophic events.

Strategies, costs and counter‐strategies to sexual coercion
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sexual conflict, the conflict between the evolutionary interests of females and males over mating, occasionally results in the evolution of traits favourable for one sex and adverse for the other. In this context, males can use sexual coercion to increase their mating success, at the expense of their female targets' mate choice.

Dogs (Canis familiaris), but not chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), understand imperative pointing.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Chimpanzees routinely follow the gaze of humans to outside targets. However, in most studies using object choice they fail to use communicative gestures (e.g. pointing) to find hidden food.
