Closing Trajectories: Equation‐Free Cyclic Animation via Koopman Surrogates
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Cyclic animation is widely used in computer graphics and interactive content. It supports seamless playback in games, VR, and interactive simulation, where short clips must repeat smoothly over long durations. Converting an observed non‐cyclic trajectory into a seamless loop is challenging because the endpoint states of the observed sequence ...

Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers
Ibis, EarlyView.Chick calls within bird species vary greatly, often in relation to whether parents are present. We studied chick calls in a nidifugous shorebird, the Kentish Plover Anarhynchus alexandrinus, in three circumstances—(1) on the nest with parental presence; (2) on the nest with parental absence; and (3) out‐of‐nest with human observer presence—and ...

Function of pipistrelle social calls: field data and a playback experiment
Animal Behaviour, 1997 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The study aimed to determine whether the so-called social calls that are produced by foraging bats of two phonic types of Pipistrellus pipistrellus serve a social function. First, the relationship between insect availability and the rate of production of social calls was measured at a foraging site of ...

Genetic Determination of Maternal Behaviour in Pigs
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In sows, maternal behaviour is a commercially important trait which affects sow and piglet welfare and the quality and safety of human‐animal interactions, especially if free farrowing of sows without crates is in place. The aim of this study was to evaluate maternal behaviour and to estimate its quantitative genetic parameters in Swiss ...

Emotional vocalizations alter behaviors and neurochemical release into the amygdala
eLifeThe basolateral amygdala (BLA), a brain center of emotional expression, contributes to acoustic communication by first interpreting the meaning of social sounds in the context of the listener’s internal state, then organizing the appropriate behavioral ...

Ostensive communication in great apes: The evolution of Gricean intent
Mind &Language, EarlyView.I discuss the evolution of ostensive behaviours (behaviours that display the communicative intent to influence others through the perception of signals and actions addressed to them). Ostensive communication evolved out of evolutionary adaptations to the challenges and opportunities created by the evolutionary scenario of the meeting of ...

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.Review on the outcomes of long‐term, individual‐based monitoring for bat conservation, focusing on data generated by automated passive integrated transponder monitoring. We show that this technique offers new possibilities for long‐term bat monitoring by facilitating the collection of highly relevant conservation data.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This paper addresses the underrepresentation of bats in animal personality research despite their ecological importance, offering a structured guide for studying consistent individual behavioural differences in this taxon. We outline key experimental, fieldwork and annotation considerations specific to bats' unique life histories, alongside a five‐step

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.
