Humans and songbirds learn to sing or speak by listening to acoustic models, forming
auditory templates, and then learning to produce vocalizations that match the templates …

Preservation of endangered species is now recognized as a relevant component of regional
and global conservation actions achieved through the maintenance of the remaining …

The study of marine soundscapes is a growing field of research. Recording hardware is
becoming more accessible; there are a number of off-the-shelf autonomous recorders that …

The most flexible communication systems are those of open-ended vocal learners that can
acquire new signals throughout their lifetimes. While acoustic signals carry information in …

Many gregarious species require complex patterns of communication for maintaining
coordinated behaviors, articulated social structure and group cohesion. In mammal species …

Researchers have a natural tendency to classify biological systems into categories. For
example, organisms can be classified based on biome, ecosystem, taxon, phylogeny, niche …

Classification of animal vocalizations is often done by a human observer using aural and
visual analysis but more efficient, automated methods have also been utilized to reduce bias …

The expansion of hydrocarbon exploration in northwest Greenland has made it increasingly
important to understand the occurrence of marine mammals in the region. We describe the …

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is commonly used to generate information on the
distribution, abundance, and behavior of cetacean species. In African waters, the utilization …

The evaluation of acoustic temporal rhythms in wide-ranging cetaceans can reveal patterns
in animal spatial presence and the occurrence of periodical phenomena. Here, we aimed at …
