... previously identified are confirmed and statistics are offered to show the levels of conformity throughout the domestic vocal repertory of the period. Evidence from partbooks bearing more than one voice provides further confirmation that those principles were often followed. Elizabethan early Stuart vocal...

Abstract Precisely time-controlled vocal antiphony is crucial for the social communication of arboreal marmosets. However, it remains unclear when this antiphony is formed and how postnatal acoustic...

These findings expanded the knowledge of acoustic coexistence in closely related anuran species and provided insights into the vocal behavior of Asian horned frogs. bioacoustic niche communication coexisting species evolution vocal behavior National Forestry and Grassland Bureau...

...Xiaoyi Li; Kangli Zhu; Ying Zhen We chose high-quality genomes from phase I and phase II of the Bird 10,000 Genomes Project [ 38 , 39 ] to avoid false discovery of loss of ancestral conserved fragments due to low genome quality and coverage. For each non-vocal learning order, the species...

Patients and Methods Methods In this cross-sectional study, 26 male military subjects were interviewed, completed the voice handicap index (VHI)-10 questionnaire, and subjected to auditory-perceptual...

... on presence or absence of certain call types in the tests, we evaluate their potential communicative role in comparison with published data on vocal repertoires of other subterranean rodents. Vocalizations of wild-living northern mole voles were recorded during field tests in the Saratov province, Russia...

Abstract Vocal individuality is essential for social discrimination but has been poorly studied in animals that produce communal signals (duets or choruses). Song overlapping and temporal coordination make the assessment of individuality in communal...

... with the microphones. When a bird sang within 0.3–1.2 m of a microphone, the bands of the singer and the context (song directed at a male, female, or undirected) were called out (i.e. the same audio track of song vocalizations contained this information). Song was considered directed when a male sang within 0.6 m...

Voice is characterized by its intensity, frequency, and harmonics. The harmonics...

For example, a small stirring straw can provide instant benefit because it raises the acoustic energy reflected back to the vocal folds...

...~BM Body mass has a strong, albeit differential influence on acoustic parameters and morphoanatomical measurements of vocal folds (and associated muscles) in vertebrates (e.g. Riede and Brown 2013 , Riede and Goller 2014 ). We expect morphoanatomical traits to be positively correlated with body...

Since acoustic communication is one of the main channels used by birds, if such form of parental behavior by adult avian brood parasites does exist, adult cowbirds should recognize and respond positively to vocalizations of conspecific juveniles. We experimentally tested whether...
