Estimating animal population density using passive acoustics [PDF]
, 2013 Reliable estimation of the size or density of wild animal populations is very important for effective wildlife management, conservation and ecology. Currently, the most widely used methods for obtaining such estimates involve either sighting animals from

Transferable Models for Bioacoustics with Human Language Supervision [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2023 Passive acoustic monitoring offers a scalable, non-invasive method for tracking global biodiversity and anthropogenic impacts on species. Although deep learning has become a vital tool for processing this data, current models are inflexible, typically ...

Vocal Interactivity in-and-between Humans, Animals, and Robots [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2016 Almost all animals exploit vocal signals for a range of ecologically motivated purposes: detecting predators/prey and marking territory, expressing emotions, establishing social relations, and sharing information. Whether it is a bird raising an alarm, a whale calling to potential partners, a dog responding to human commands, a parent reading a story ...

Rhythm in speech and animal vocalizations: a cross‐species perspective [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019 AbstractWhy does human speech have rhythm? As we cannot travel back in time to witness how speech developed its rhythmic properties and why humans have the cognitive skills to process them, we rely on alternative methods to find out. One powerful tool is the comparative approach: studying the presence or absence of cognitive/behavioral traits in other ...

Animals, 2019 Over the last few years, an increasing number of studies have aimed to gain more insight into the field of animal emotions. In particular, it is of interest to determine whether animals can cross-modally categorize the emotions of others.

Scientific Reports, 2017 Throughout life, rats emit ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) when confronted with an aversive situation. However, the conditions classically used to elicit USV vary greatly with the animal’s age (isolation from the dam in infancy, versus nociceptive ...

Evidence of auditory insensitivity to vocalization frequencies in two frogs
Scientific Reports, 2017 The emergence and maintenance of animal communication systems requires the co-evolution of signal and receiver. Frogs and toads rely heavily on acoustic communication for coordinating reproduction and typically have ears tuned to the dominant frequency ...

Animal Sound Identifier (
Ecology Letters, 2018 AbstractAutomated audio recording offers a powerful tool for acoustic monitoring schemes of bird, bat, frog and other vocal organisms, but the lack of automated species identification methods has made it difficult to fully utilise such data. We developed Animal Sound Identifier (ASI), a MATLAB software that performs probabilistic classification of ...

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.

Human cerebral response to animal affective vocalizations [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2007 It is presently unknown whether our response to affective vocalizations is specific to those generated by humans or more universal, triggered by emotionally matched vocalizations generated by other species. Here, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging in normal participants to measure cerebral activity during auditory stimulation with ...
