Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustic Indices for Biodiversity Assessment and Landscape Investigation
TL;DR: Jérôme Sueur et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a model for the evolution of the human brain using the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNDHN).
Journal ArticleDOI
Birds and Anthropogenic Noise: Are Urban Songs Adaptive?
Erwin Nemeth,Henrik Brumm +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that frequency changes of urban songs are not very effective in mitigating masking from traffic noise, and an increase in vocal pitch increased communication distance only marginally, while vocal amplitude adjustments had a strong and significantly larger effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
A primer of acoustic analysis for landscape ecologists
TL;DR: This paper presents an introduction to the physical characteristics of sound, basic recording principles as well as several ways to analyze digital sound files using spectrogram analysis, and discusses specific terms when working with digital sound analysis.

Song divergence by sensory drive in amazonian birds
Joe Tobias,Job Aben,Robb T. Brumfield,Elizabeth P. Derryberry,Wouter Halfwerk,Hans Slabbekoorn,Nathalie Seddon +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that songs of 17 “bamboo‐specialist” bird species differ in predictable ways from their nearest relatives in adjacent terra firme forest, and that the direction of song divergence is correlated with the sound transmission properties of habitats, rather than with genetic divergence, ambient noise, or pleiotropic effects of mass and bill size.

Principles of Animal Communication
TL;DR: Part 1 Production, transmission, and reception of signals: the properties of sound fourier analysis sound production sound propogation sound reception properties of light production and transmission of light signals light signal reception chemical signals electroreception.
MonographDOI
The Evolution of Language
TL;DR: The authors exploit newly available massive natu- ral language corpora to capture the language as a language evolution phenomenon. But their work is limited to a subset of the languages in the corpus.
Book
The Evolution of Animal Communication: Reliability and Deception in Signaling Systems
TL;DR: The Evolution of Animal Communication: Reliability and Deception in Signaling Systems by William A. Searcy and Stephen Nowicki is the latest book in the Monographs in Behavior and Ecology series.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of quorum sensing in bacterial biofilms.
TL;DR: The model suggests that the observed variation in quorum-sensing behavior can be linked to the differing requirements of bacteria in chronic versus acute biofilm infections, and shows that the balance of competition within and among biofilms can be pivotal in the evolution of quorum sensing.
Journal ArticleDOI
What do animal signals mean
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider some of the ambiguities and limitations inherent in such informational approaches to animal communication as background to advocating alternatives, eschew language-based metaphors and broader informational constructs and focus instead on concrete details of signal design as they reflect and interact with established sensory, physiological and psychological processes that support signalling and responding in listeners.
