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 ...

An investigation of the sound of foam and its potential influence on the shampoo experience

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates shampoo foam acoustics' impact on hair washing experience using binaural recordings and psychoacoustic analysis. Distinct foam sound profiles elicited varying emotional responses; early lathering induced negative emotions while later phases were positive.

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 ...

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 ...

Emotional vocalizations alter behaviors and neurochemical release into the amygdala

eLife
The 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 ...

Long‐Term Individual‐Based Monitoring in Bat Conservation: Insights From Automated PIT‐Tag Monitoring

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.

Chiroptera Personality—A Guide for Assessing Personality Variation in Bats: Ecological, Methodological and Statistical Considerations

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

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

Function of note strings in Japanese Tit alarm calls to the Common Cuckoo: a playback experiment

Avian Research, 2017
Background Birds produce alarm calls to convey information about threats. Some Passerine alarm calls consist of several note strings, but few studies have examined their function. Previous studies have shown that Japanese Tits (Parus minor) can alter the
