Chimpanzee quiet hoo variants differ according to context [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 In comparative studies of evolution of communication, the function and use of animal quiet calls have typically been understudied, despite that these signals are presumably under selection like other vocalizations, such as alarm calls.

Bound for Specific Sounds: Vocal Predisposition in Animal Communication [PDF]
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2020 Mechanical constraints imposed by anatomical adaptations are a ubiquitous feature of animal sound production. They can give rise to 'vocal predispositions' (i.e., acoustic structures strictly determined by vocal anatomy). Such predispositions are crucial to the investigation of the cognitive and evolutionary processes underlying acoustic communication ...

A Framework for Bioacoustic Vocalization Analysis Using Hidden Markov Models
Algorithms, 2009 Using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) as a recognition framework for automatic classification of animal vocalizations has a number of benefits, including the ability to handle duration variability through nonlinear time alignment, the ability to incorporate ...

Endocrinology, 2014 Sex differences in vocal communication are prevalent in both the animals and humans. The mechanism(s) mediating gender differences in human language are unknown, although, sex hormones, principally androgens, play a central role in the development of ...

Comparative Analysis of Whinnies of Czech Warmblood and Thoroughbred Horses
Agricultura Tropica et Subtropica, 2014 Loud acoustic signals of mammals may contain information about their progenitors. There is a question whether such phenomenon is possible to expect in domestic animal breeds as well, since the time of breed establishment has been a rather long one ...

Pain assessment in animal models: do we need further studies?
Journal of Pain Research, 2014 In the last two decades, animal models have become important tools in understanding and treating pain, and in predicting analgesic efficacy. Although rodent models retain a dominant role in the study of pain mechanisms, large animal models may predict ...

Physiologic Measures of Animal Stress during Transitional States of Consciousness
Animals, 2015 Simple Summary The humaneness, and therefore suitability, of any particular agent or method used to produce unconsciousness in animals, whether for anesthesia, euthanasia, humane slaughter, or depopulation, depends on the experience of pain or distress ...

Journal of Ecology and EnvironmentAnurans communicate with others using several types of calls such as advertisement, encounter, release, and rain calls. Some treefrog species produce rain calls from their daytime shelters, such as trees and bushes, during both the breeding and non ...

Identification of acoustic parameters for broiler welfare estimate [PDF]
Engenharia Agrícola, 2014 Estimates of broiler welfare have subjective character. Nowadays, researchers seek non-invasive features or indicators that may describe this condition in animal production.

Robust discrimination between EEG responses to categories of environmental sounds in early coma
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Humans can recognize categories of environmental sounds, including vocalizations produced by humans and animals and the sounds of man-made objects.
