Evaluation of the visual signal in playback by territorial responses of nuthatches
Avian ResearchA playback experiment is a well-established method for behavior research, especially in the study of the territorial responses of songbirds. Birds obtain information from multimodal signals, whereas only acoustic signals are provided in traditional ...

Mutual mother‐pup acoustic identification in Asian particolored bats
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In many vertebrates, vocal communication is crucial in parent–offspring interactions, and parents are often able to discriminate between the calls of their own and others' offspring.

Antiphonal call timing in marmosets is behaviorally significant: interactive playback experiments [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2009 Studies of primate vocal communication systems have generally focused on vocalizations and the information they convey to conspecifics. But the vocalizations are not the only sources of information. Aspects of each species vocal behaviors are likely to be communicatively rich as well.

Calls during agonistic interactions vary with arousal and raise audience attention in ravens
Frontiers in Zoology, 2017 Background Acoustic properties of vocalizations can vary with the internal state of the caller, and may serve as reliable indicators for a caller’s emotional state, for example to prevent conflicts.

White-handed gibbons discriminate context-specific song compositions [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 White-handed gibbons produce loud and acoustically complex songs when interacting with their neighbours or when encountering predators. In both contexts, songs are assembled from a small number of units although their composition differs in context ...

LLM‐Integrated Human–Robot Interaction System for Microrobots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This paper proposes an LLM‐based control framework for guiding microrobots using human natural language. This framework can convert the natural human speech into safe and executable command sets for reliable navigation in complex environments. The experimental results show high accuracy and robustness in task performance, demonstrating the potential of

Divergent effects of short-term and continuous anthropogenic noise exposure on Western Bluebird parental care behavior [PDF]
PeerJSensory environments are rapidly changing due to increased human activity in urban and non-urban areas alike. For instance, natural and anthropogenic sounds can interfere with parent-offspring communication and mask cues reflective of predation risk ...

Difficulties when using video playback to investigate social cognition in California scrub-jays (Aphelocoma californica) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Previous research has suggested that videos can be used to experimentally manipulate social stimuli. In the present study, we used the California scrub-jays’ cache protection strategies to assess whether video playback can be used to simulate ...
