Studying Marine Mammal Cognition in the Wild: A Review of Four Decades of Playback Experiments [PDF]

Aquatic Mammals, 2006
The playback of sounds to animals to assess their behavioural responses presents a powerful tool to study animal cognition in the wild. While playbacks are commonly used to study acoustic responses in birds and other terrestrial animals, their application to the study of marine mammal cognition so far has been limited.

The Effect of Heterospecific Song and Anthropogenic Sound on the Development of Life History Traits in a Field Cricket

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 7, Page 466-476, July 2026.
We raised fall field crickets in acoustic environments of silence, their own song, traffic noise, or the song of the recently introduced Japanese burrowing cricket and measured development, size, and adult survival. We found that crickets reared with burrowing cricket song developed more quickly than crickets reared in silence.

Variation in responses to interspecific vocalizations among sister taxa of the Sittidae: imminent extinction of a cryptic species on Grand Bahama Island?

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2020
We conducted playback-response experiments to assess whether the Brown-headed Nuthatch (Sitta pusilla) population found on Grand Bahama Island might be a distinct and critically endangered species.

Free‐living Black‐tailed Godwits maintain constant intake rates across varying grassland habitat conditions by adjusting their foraging behaviour

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 876-889, July 2026.
Free‐living birds need to acquire enough food to fulfil their energetic needs, which may require more effort in habitats with less favourable conditions. Therefore, to maintain their necessary energy intake, birds need to adjust their foraging behaviour in response to varying habitat conditions.

Cryptic Vocal Communication in the Proboscis Bat (Rhynchonycteris naso)

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1561, Issue 1, July 2026.
Proboscis bats (Rhynchonycteris naso) balance communication and crypsis through distinct vocal strategies. Naturally selected calls are high‐frequency, short‐range, and produced during motion, reducing predator detection. In contrast, sexually selected signals are more conspicuous.

The Effect of Task Demand on EEG Responses to Irrelevant Sound and Speech in Simulated Surgical Environments

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Complex soundscapes in high‐stakes environments, such as the operating room (OR), are characterized by a variety of overlapping auditory stimuli and present significant challenges for personnel, particularly during periods of high demand.

Spatio-Temporal Mixed and Augmented Reality Experience Description for Interactive Playback

2025 IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality Adjunct (ISMAR-Adjunct)
We propose the Spatio-Temporal Mixed and Augmented Reality Experience Description (MAR-ED), a novel framework to standardize the representation of past events for interactive and adaptive playback in a user's present physical space. While current spatial media technologies have primarily focused on capturing or replaying content as static assets, often

Acoustic Metadata Design on Object-Based Audio Using Estimated 3D-Position from Visual Image Toward Depth-Directional Sound Image Localization

Acoustics
Multichannel audio is a sound field reproduction technology that uses multiple loudspeakers. Object-based audio is a playback method for multichannel audio that enables the construction of sound images at specified positions using coordinates within the ...

Harnessing fear of predators and competitors as deterrents for an invasive predator

Ecosphere
Manipulation of animal behavior is a powerful tool for nonlethal wildlife management where lethal control is not possible. Animal behavior is driven by motivations to acquire food and mates and to avoid predation, and animals utilize their sensory ...

Conspecific cues and breeding territory selection in Whinchat on abandoned fields

Avian Research
Many bird species use social information to guide territory selection. Different species in different habitats may use both pre-breeding and post-breeding conspecific cues.
