Experimental evidence for compositional syntax in bird calls
Human language can express limitless meanings from a finite set of words based on
combinatorial rules (ie, compositional syntax). Although animal vocalizations may be …

Communication about predator type by a bird using discrete, graded and combinatorial variation in alarm calls
TN Suzuki - Animal Behaviour, 2014 - Elsevier
Many animals use variation in their alarm calls to warn conspecifics about different predatory
threats. Information about predators can be encoded by producing discrete types of alarm …

The vocal repertoire of the domesticated zebra finch: a data-driven approach to decipher the information-bearing acoustic features of communication signals
JE Elie, FE Theunissen - Animal cognition, 2016 - Springer
Although a universal code for the acoustic features of animal vocal communication calls may
not exist, the thorough analysis of the distinctive acoustical features of vocalization …

Semantic communication in birds: evidence from field research over the past two decades
TN Suzuki - Ecological Research, 2016 - Springer
What do animal signals mean? This is a central question in studies on animal
communication. Research into the semantics of animal signals began in 1980, with …

Alarm communication predates eusociality in termites
Abstract Termites (Blattodea: Isoptera) have evolved specialized defensive strategies for
colony protection. Alarm communication enables workers to escape threats while soldiers …

Vocal complexity in meerkats and other mongoose species
Complex societies are suggested to generate complex communication. However, tests of
this hypothesis rarely go beyond a superficial examination of social and communicative …

Predator-awareness training in terrestrial vertebrates: progress, problems and possibilities
Animals bred in captivity or isolated from predators often suffer high rates of predation when
translocated, having not learned to recognise or respond appropriately to predators. As a …
