Evidence for Semantic Communication in Alarm Calls of Wild Sichuan Snub-Nosed Monkeys [PDF]
The alarm calls of non-human primates help us to understand the evolution of animal vocal communication and the origin of human language. However, as there is a lack of research on alarm calls in primates living in multilevel societies, we studied these ...

Real‐Time Behaviour Recognition on Bio‐Loggers Enables Autonomous Audio Playback Experiments in Free‐Ranging Seabirds [PDF]
Audio playback experiments in the natural environment have been a powerful tool in animal behaviour and ecology, revealing causal relationships between animal movements/behaviours and audio stimuli.

Wild Carrion Crows (Corvus corone) Autonomously Respond to Speech but Show No Difference in Their Response to a Local and a Foreign Language [PDF]
Eavesdropping on the vocalizations of other species can be beneficial for wildlife to avoid predator encounters, including encounters with humans. Wild-caught large-billed crows in Tokyo responded more to playback of a foreign language than to Japanese ...

Response Calls Evoked by Playback of Natural 50-kHz Ultrasonic Vocalizations in Rats
Rats are highly social animals known to communicate with ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) of different frequencies. Calls around 50 kHz are thought to represent a positive affective state, whereas calls around 22 kHz are believed to serve as alarm or ...

Using Acoustic Data Repositories to Study Vocal Responses to Playback in a Neotropical Songbird
Birds may alter song structure in response to territorial challenges to convey information about aggressive intent or fighting ability. Professional and amateur ornithologists upload daily many birdsong recordings into acoustic data repositories, usually

We investigated the effects of prior stress on rats’ responses to 50-kHz (appetitive) and 22-kHz (aversive) ultrasonic playback. Rats were treated with 0, 1, 6 or 10 shocks (1 s, 1.0 mA each) and were exposed to playbacks the following day.

Simulated birdwatchers' playback affects the behavior of two tropical birds. [PDF]
Although recreational birdwatchers may benefit conservation by generating interest in birds, they may also have negative effects. One such potentially negative impact is the widespread use of recorded vocalizations, or "playback," to attract birds of ...
