Acquiring clear acoustic signals is critical for the analysis of animal vocalizations.Bioacoustics studies commonly face the problem of overlapping signals,which can impede the structural identification of vocal units...
Background:The Savanna Nightjar(Caprimulgus affinis)is a widespread,polytypic species which was previously treated as two or three species.It is currently treated as a single species based on superficial similarity of...

Acoustic signals play a crucial role in transmitting information and maintaining social stability in gregarious animals,especially in echolocating bats,which rely primarily on biological sonar for navigating in the d...
Vocalizations play a critical role in mate recognition and mate choice in a number of taxa, especially, but not limited to, orthopterans, frogs, and birds. But receivers can only recognize and prefer sounds that they ...
It is proposed that where sexually selected vocal communication is an honest signal, the call production rate is predicted to change throughout the breeding season. Male leopard seals call underwater for many hours ea...
The ability to identify emotional arousal in heterospecific vocalizations may facilitate behaviors that increase survival opportunities. Crucially, this ability may orient inter-species interactions, par- ticularly be...
Cat vocal behavior, in particular, the vocal and social behavior of feral cats, is poorly understood, as are the differences between feral and fully domestic cats. The relationship between feral cat social and vocal b...
