Dynamic sex-specific responses to synthetic songs in a duetting suboscine passerine. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Many bird species produce temporally coordinated duets and choruses, requiring the rapid integration of auditory perception and motor production. While males and females of some species are known to participate in these displays for sex-specific purposes,

Passive Acoustic Identification of Social Groups in the Hainan Gibbon

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Passive acoustic monitoring offers a non‐invasive means of assessing visually hard‐to‐survey wildlife species with distinctive vocalizations. We evaluated whether deep learning can identify Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) social groups from their calls.

Female Cuckoo Calls Are More Effective at Attracting Breeding Male Cuckoos and Their Hosts Than Male Cuckoo Calls

Ecology and Evolution
Vocalizations during the breeding season play a significant role in both intra‐ and inter‐specific communications. There have been numerous studies on the calls and functions of the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus [CC]). However, there is limited research

“Disciplinary Writing Is Like Playing with Legos”: Exploring a Multilingual International Student's Navigating Science Writing

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the experiences of an undergraduate multilingual international student in becoming a science writer at a large public university. Taking the lenses of identity and investment, language socialization and multiliteracies, we address the question: How does a college‐aged multilingual science student navigate disciplinary ...

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...

Context‐Dependent Reactive Antipredator Behavior of Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus griseipes) Amidst Predator Recovery [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Chacma baboons exhibited context‐dependent flight and vigilance behavior in response to experimental predator vocalizations in Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park. Reactions were strongest in juveniles and in individuals with fewer otherbaboons in frame and in response to leopard and wild dog cues, and weakened with increased exposure to predators ...

Wild Pigs (Sus scrofa) Stand Their Ground: Investigating Flight Response, or Lack Thereof, to Perceived Predation Risk 野猪坚守原地:探究其面对感知捕食风险时的逃逸反应 (或无逃逸行为)

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
We used automated behavioral response systems (ABRs) to assess invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa) behavioral response to four auditory playbacks: humans, coyote vocalizations (Canis latrans), pigs in distress, and barred owl (Strix varia) calls. Wild pigs had a significant flight response to human playbacks, but 68% of pigs did not flee.

Acoustic Mimicry of Begging Calls and Its Geographical Differentiation in Nestling Common Cuckoos Toward Oriental Reed Warblers 大杜鹃雏鸟对东方大苇莺乞食鸣叫声的声学模仿及其地理分化

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Common cuckoo nestlings from different populations show varying degrees of mimicry of warbler begging calls, with the Yongnianwa population being the most accurate and the Zhalong population the least. Overall, these cuckoos employ a dual strategy: they conservatively mimic the high‐frequency components of host calls while adaptively adjusting their ...

Nocturnal playback experiments: The response of two European species of birds to singing of foreign male at night.

PLoS ONE
Recent studies have shown that nocturnal singing in diurnal birds is a common phenomenon, however, the understanding of the mechanisms, functions and consequences of this behaviour has been lacking.

Neglecting the call of the wild: Captive frogs like the sound of their own voice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Acoustic communication is highly influential in the expression of social behavior by anuran amphibians, transmitting information about the individual's physical condition and motivation.
