Species-specific differences and similarities in the behavior of hand-raised dog and wolf pups in social situations with humans [PDF]
, 2005 In order to reveal early species-specific differences, we observed the behavior of dog puppies (n = 11) and wolf pups (n = 13) hand raised and intensively socialized in an identical way.

Distributed acoustic cues for caller identity in macaque vocalization [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Individual primates can be identified by the sound of their voice. Macaques have demonstrated an ability to discern conspecific identity from a harmonically structured ‘coo’ call.

VOCALIZATION OF THE CROCODILE SKINK, TRIBOLONOTUS GRACILIS (DE ROOY, 1909), AND EVIDENCE OF PARENTAL CARE. [PDF]
, 2001 The crocodile or spiny skinks, Tribolonotus, comprise eight secretive semi-fossorial lizards, which are generally found under vegetation in the immediate vicinity of water (Greer and Parker, 1968; O'Shea, 1991, 1994; Rogner, 1997). Tribolonotus gracilis (

Animation Synthesis Triggered by Vocal Mimics [PDF]
Motion, Interaction and Games, 2019 We propose a method leveraging the naturally time-related expressivity of our voice to control an animation composed of a set of short events. The user records itself mimicking onomatopoeia sounds such as "Tick", "Pop", or "Chhh" which are associated with specific animation events.

Combinatoriality in the vocal systems of nonhuman animals [PDF]
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2019 A key challenge in the field of human language evolution is the identification of the selective conditions that gave rise to language's generative nature. Comparative data on nonhuman animals provides a powerful tool to investigate similarities and differences among nonhuman and human communication systems and to reveal convergent evolutionary ...

General isochronous rhythm in echolocation calls and social vocalizations of the bat Saccopteryx bilineata [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Rhythm is an essential component of human speech and music but very little is known about its evolutionary origin and its distribution in animal vocalizations.

The syntax–semantics interface in animal vocal communication [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Syntax (rules for combining words or elements) and semantics (meaning of expressions) are two pivotal features of human language, and interaction between them allows us to generate a limitless number of meaningful expressions. While both features were traditionally thought to be unique to human language, research over the past four decades has revealed
