Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2427-2447, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

The influence of acoustic characteristics and anthropogenic noise on restorative perceptions of natural soundscapes

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3466-3480, October 2026.
Abstract Natural soundscapes are an important cultural ecosystem service that can promote mental health and well‐being. However, the role of specific acoustic characteristics in delivering these benefits and the constraining effects of anthropogenic noise are currently unclear.

Avoidance failure, not detection failure drives gillnet bycatch in a small toothed whale: The harbour porpoise

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our findings suggest that bycatch is not simply due to a failure to detect nets but rather occurs when avoidance fails, highlighting the need for mitigation strategies that enhance detectability and support avoidance behaviour to overcome the global gillnet bycatch issue.

Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1437-1447, October 2026.
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 ...

UAV‐Based Dolphin Tracking Enables Automated Quantification of Spatial Group Cohesion in Natural and Exposure Settings

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Changes in spatial group cohesion have been documented in dolphin groups exposed to tourism activities, signaling an avoidance response. To date, dolphin spatial group cohesion is typically analyzed qualitatively because obtaining fine‐scale spatial data for gregarious dolphin species is challenging. Unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAV) can record

Delivery and Attitude Modulate Shared Neural Processing of Speech Through Distinct Frequency Channels

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Listeners' brains align when they attend to the same speech, but what determines how strongly they align is not well understood. We asked whether that alignment tracks the communicative relation between a listener and a message, manipulating it from the speaker's side and from the listener's, and bounding the account with a manipulation that ...

Playback attracts prospecting individuals, but habitat quality is key for settlement in the Wryneck Jynx torquilla

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Organisms do not only use personal but also social information for habitat selection. However, the use and relative importance of these two sources of information for settlement decisions remain unclear for many species.
