Hemispheric dominance underlying the neural substrate for learned vocalizations develops with experience [PDF]
AbstractMany aspects of song learning in songbirds resemble characteristics of speech acquisition in humans. Genetic, anatomical and behavioural parallels have most recently been extended with demonstrated similarities in hemispheric dominance between humans and songbirds: the avian higher order auditory cortex is left-lateralized for processing song ...

Non-verbal behaviours, including voice characteristics during speech, are an important way to communicate social status. Research suggests that individuals can obtain high social status through dominance (using force and intimidation) or through prestige

Vocal Behavior in Spotted Seals (Phoca largha) and Implications for Passive Acoustic Monitoring
Passive acoustic methods enable remote monitoring of marine species and habitats. These methods can be applied to investigate distribution and abundance of populations, to evaluate behavioral and physiological states of individuals, and to inform ...

Vocal copying of individually distinctive signature whistles in bottlenose dolphins [PDF]
Vocal learning is relatively common in birds but less so in mammals. Sexual selection and individual or group recognition have been identified as major forces in its evolution.

Social learning of vocal structure in a nonhuman primate? [PDF]
Background: Non-human primate communication is thought to be fundamentally different from human speech, mainly due to vast differences in vocal control.

Gender and Context-Specific Effects of Vocal Dominance and Trustworthiness on Leadership Decisions
Abstract Objective The evolutionary-contingency hypothesis, which suggests that preferences for leaders are context-dependent, has found relatively consistent support from research investigating leadership decisions based on facial pictures.

Meerkat close calling patterns are linked to sex, social category, season and wind, but not fecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations. [PDF]
It is well established that animal vocalizations can encode information regarding a sender's identity, sex, age, body size, social rank and group membership.

Ultrasound and ultraviolet: crypsis in gliding mammals [PDF]
Gliding is only present in six extant groups of mammals—interestingly, despite divergent evolutionary histories, all mammalian gliders are strictly nocturnal.
