A Comparative View of Face Perception
David A. Leopold,Gillian Rhodes +1 more
TL;DR: Comparative studies may hold the key to understanding how these parallel circuits emerged during human evolution, because the human brain likely utilizes both primitive and recently evolved neural specializations for the processing of faces.

Beyond 'nasty neighbours' and 'dear enemies'? Individual recognition by scent marks in a lizard (Podarcis hispanica)
TL;DR: These findings challenge the simplistic and commonly held view that ‘dear enemy’ phenomena in lizards are exclusively based on familiarity asymmetries, and support an alternative threat level hypothesis in which TIR may be more important than previously acknowledged.

From dummies to animations: a review of computer-animated stimuli used in animal behavior studies
Kevin L. Woo,Guillaume Rieucau +1 more
TL;DR: It is advocated that computer-generated animations appear to be the most flexible technique to date, and offers better control of visual cues that are presented, thus allowing researchers to program a large variety of stimuli.

Opponent assessment in lizards: examining the effect of aggressive and submissive signals
TL;DR: An interactive video playback study using male Jacky dragons to determine which signalling strategy was the most effective at deterring aggression and eliciting submission, revealing that their behavior during a contest is sensitive to social contingencies.

Ecology and evolution of acoustic communication in birds
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the contributing ornithologists' current research in birds' acoustic communication with an ecological and evolutionary focus, and also identified the areas they feel will dominate future research efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of neighbours in territorial systems: when are they 'dear enemies'?
TL;DR: In this paper, the occurrence of the dear enemy phenomenon is shown to depend on the kind of territory studied: it tends to be present in studies of multi-purpose, breeding territories, but absent in studying of feeding territories.

Communication Goes Multimodal
Sarah R. Partan,Peter Marler +1 more
TL;DR: The Perspective by Partan and Marler in this week9s issue postulates a new classification system for multimodal sensory signals that combines of sensory signals are classified according to the behavioral responses they elicit.

Acoustic communication in birds
TL;DR: In this article, the structural diversity of songs and its relevance for social behavior are described, and the importance of song and call in the life of birds is highlighted. But the authors do not discuss the role of calls in birds' social behavior.
