The naked mole‐rat (Heterocephalus glaber) has fascinated zoologists for at least half a
century. It has also generated considerable biomedical interest not only because of its …

Vocal production learning, the ability to modify the structure of vocalizations as a result of
hearing those of others, has been studied extensively in birds but less attention has been …

Bacterial anti-phage systems are frequently clustered in microbial genomes, forming
defense islands. This property enabled the recent discovery of multiple defense systems …

Honey bees use a complex form of spatial referential communication. Their “waggle dance”
communicates the direction, distance, and quality of a resource to nestmates by encoding …

Naked mole-rats (NMRs, Heterocephalus glaber) are the longest-lived rodents with a
maximum life span exceeding 37 years. They exhibit a delayed aging phenotype and …

Birdsong has been the subject of broad research from a variety of sub‐disciplines and has
taught us much about the evolution, function, and mechanisms driving animal …

Individuals of some animal species have been taught simple versions of human language
despite their natural communication systems failing to rise to the level of a simple language …

Recently developed methods in computational neuroethology have enabled increasingly
detailed and comprehensive quantification of animal movements and behavioral kinematics …

ABSTRACT A critical feature of language is that the form of words need not bear any
perceptual similarity to their function–these relationships can be 'arbitrary'. The capacity to …

With their highly social nature and complex vocal communication system, marmosets are
important models for comparative studies of vocal communication and, eventually, language …
