Meaning and Emotion in Animal Vocalizations

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2003
Abstract:Historically, a dichotomy has been drawn between the semantic communication of human language and the apparently emotional calls of animals. Current research paints a more complicated picture. Just as scientists have identified elements of human speech that reflect a speaker's emotions, field experiments have shown that the calls of many ...

Wireless microphone for studies of animal vocalizations

Experientia, 1976
A microphone collar for obtaining good quality recordings of animal vocalizations is described. An inexpensive, commercially available wireless microphone was modified and mounted on a collar with a hearing-aidbattery pack. The complete assembly weighs 25 g, and is readily accepted by domestic cats.

Production, usage, and comprehension in animal vocalizations

Brain and Language, 2010
In this review, we place equal emphasis on production, usage, and comprehension because these components of communication may exhibit different developmental trajectories and be affected by different neural mechanisms. In the animal kingdom generally, learned, flexible vocal production is rare, appearing in only a few orders of birds and few species of

Nonlinear analysis of irregular animal vocalizations

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2002
Animal vocalizations range from almost periodic vocal-fold vibration to completely atonal turbulent noise. Between these two extremes, a variety of nonlinear dynamics such as limit cycles, subharmonics, biphonation, and chaotic episodes have been recently observed.

Animal Vocal Communication

1998
This book will be a landmark text for all those interested in animal communication. Animal Vocal Communication explicitly avoids human-centred concepts and approaches and links communication to fundamental biological processes instead. It offers a conceptual framework - assessment/management - that allows us to integrate detailed studies of ...

Animal Vocal Communication

2017
How do animals communicate using sounds? How did animal vocal communication arise and evolve? Exploring a new way to conceptualize animal communication, this new edition moves beyond an earlier emphasis on the role of senders in managing receiver behaviour, to examine how receivers' responses influence signalling.

The Phonetic Potential of Nonhuman Vocal Tracts: Comparative Cineradiographic Observations of Vocalizing Animals

Phonetica, 2000
Abstract For more than a century it has been noted that the adult human vocal tract differs from that of other mammals, in that the resting position of the larynx is much lower in humans. While animals habitually breathe with the larynx inserted into the nasal cavity, adult humans are unable to do this.

Vocalization of farm animals as a measure of welfare

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2004
Abstract Emotionally relevant external events, hormone concentrations affecting mood and appetitive behaviour, thirst and hunger are able to stimulate a complex central nervous network that regulates endocrine feedback and behaviour in order to maintain or regain homeostasis.

A Minicomputer System for the Synthesis of Animal Vocalizations

Zeitschrift für Tierpsychologie, 1980
AbstractA software system is described for the synthesis and modification of animal vocalizations using the PDP 11/10 laboratory minicomputer. The modification of part of a natural song is described.ZusammenfassungEin Satz von Computerprogrammen zur Veränderung natürlicher Lautäußerungen wird beschrieben.
