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.

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.

The law of brevity in macaque vocal communication is not an artifact of analyzing mean call durations [PDF]
, 2012 Words follow the law of brevity, i.e. more frequent words tend to be shorter. From a statistical point of view, this qualitative definition of the law states that word length and word frequency are negatively correlated.

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 ...

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

Vocal repertoire and individuality in the plains zebra (Equus quagga)
Royal Society Open ScienceAcoustic signals are vital in animal communication, and quantifying them is fundamental for understanding animal behaviour and ecology. Vocalizations can be classified into acoustically and functionally or contextually distinct categories, but ...
