Phylogenetic signal in the vocalizations of vocal learning and vocal non-learning birds [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021
Abstract Some animal vocalizations develop reliably in the absence of relevant experience, but an intriguing subset of animal vocalizations is learned: they require acoustic models during ontogeny in order to develop, and the learner's vocal output reflects those models.

A taxonomy for vocal learning [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020
Humans and songbirds learn to sing or speak by listening to acoustic models, forming auditory templates, and then learning to produce vocalizations that match the templates. These taxa have evolved specialized telencephalic pathways to accomplish this complex form of vocal learning, which has been reported for very few other taxa.

The multi-dimensional nature of vocal learning [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021
Abstract How learning affects vocalizations is a key question in the study of animal communication and human language. Parallel efforts in birds and humans have taught us much about how vocal learning works on a behavioural and neurobiological level. Subsequent efforts have revealed a variety of cases among mammals in which experience

Vocal Learning and Auditory-Vocal Feedback [PDF]

, 2016
Vocal learning is usually studied in songbirds and humans, species that can form auditory templates by listening to acoustic models and then learn to vocalize to match the template. Most other species are thought to develop vocalizations without auditory

Vocal usage learning and vocal comprehension learning in harbor seals

BMC Neuroscience
Background Which mammals show vocal learning abilities, e.g., can learn new sounds, or learn to use sounds in new contexts? Vocal usage and comprehension learning are submodules of vocal learning.

If horses entrain, don’t entirely reject vocal learning: An experience-based vocal learning hypothesis

Empirical Musicology Review, 2013
Bregman and colleagues describe methods for testing whether horses entrain their actions to an auditory beat. If horses can entrain, does this necessarily imply that there is no causal relationship between vocal learning and entrainment?

The many functions of vocal learning. [PDF]

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2021
Abstract The capacity to learn novel vocalizations has evolved convergently in a wide range of species. Courtship songs of male birds or whales are often treated as prototypical examples, implying a sexually selected context for the evolution of this ability.

A Call to Expand Avian Vocal Development Research

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Birds are our best models to understand vocal learning – a vocal production ability guided by auditory feedback, which includes human language. Among all vocal learners, songbirds have the most diverse life histories, and some aspects of their vocal ...
