In socially complex species, vocal signals often convey individual identity, enabling recognition and coordination of individualized groups. Jackdaws (Corvus monedula) are highly social corvids that form life-long monogamous pair bonds. They frequent...
Understanding how bottlenose dolphins adjust their vocal behavior in response to daily routines can provide insights into social communication and welfare assessment in managed care environments. This study presents a detailed analysis of bottlenose ...
Arctic-endemic bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) are facing extreme habitat changes, particularly due to ongoing sea-ice loss. This study compares acoustic presence and vocal behavior of bowhead whales at two ecologically distinct locations: (1) no...
Understanding cetacean whistles is crucial for assessing their social interactions, behaviours, and responses to anthropic activities. Identifying the various types of whistles present in acoustic recordings is often challenging, but necessary for th...
Deep learning tools for behavior analysis have enabled important insights and discoveries in neuroscience. Yet, they often compromise interpretability and generalizability for performance, making quantitative comparisons across datasets difficult. We...
Vocal production learning is a remarkable ability, exclusively present in a few mammalian species and three bird clades. Besides learning conspecific vocalizations, vocal production can also lead to integration of allospecific sounds in an animal's r...
Automated detection of calls is essential to bioacoustic research where it is routine to collect large data sets that preclude effective human annotation. Automated analysis remains challenging due to variations in calls, varying noise backgrounds, a...
Understanding vocal communication is essential to unraveling avian social behavior and cognition; however, audio recording remains particularly challenging in field studies involving wild populations. In this study, we deployed a lightweight, multi-s...
Revealing difference in bird vocalization changes from the perspectives of song recognition and acoustic indices has become a hot topic and challenge in recent ecological landscape research. This paper proposes a fine-grained (Dawn, noon, night) bird...
On 8 April 2024, a total solar eclipse disrupted light-dark cycles for North American birds during the lead-up to spring reproduction. Compiling more than 10,000 community observations and artificial intelligence analyses of nearly 100,000 vocalizati...
