How learning affects vocalizations is a key question in the study of animal communication
and human language. Parallel efforts in birds and humans have taught us much about how …

This review paper discusses rhythmic interactions and distinguishes them from non-rhythmic
interactions. We report on communicative behaviours in social and sexual contexts, as found …

Rhythm is a prominent feature of music. Of the infinite possible ways of organizing events in
time, musical rhythms are almost always distributed categorically. Such categories can …

Rhythmic stability (nonrandom temporal structure) is required for many neural and
physiological functions, whereas rhythmic irregularities can indicate genetic or …

The impact of anthropogenic noise on marine fauna is of increasing conservation concern
with vessel noise being one of the major contributors. Animals that rely on shallow coastal …

Song coordination is a universal characteristic of human music. Many animals also produce
well-coordinated duets or choruses that resemble human music. However, the mechanism …

Rhythmicity in the millisecond to second range is a fundamental building block of
communication and coordinated movement. But how widespread are rhythmic capacities …

Many studies have revealed that animal vocalizations, including those from mammals, are
individually distinctive. Therefore, acoustic identification of individuals (AIID) has been …

The ability to recognize the identity of conspecifics is a key component for survival of many
animal species and is fundamental to social interactions such as parental care, intra-sexual …

Analyzing the rhythm of animals' acoustic signals is of interest to a growing number of
researchers: evolutionary biologists want to disentangle how these structures evolved and …
