Rhythmic behaviour is ubiquitous in both human and non-human animals, but it is unclear
whether the cognitive mechanisms underlying the specific rhythmic behaviours observed in …

Animals communicating interactively with conspecifics often time their broadcasts to avoid
overlapping interference, to emit leading, as opposed to following, signals or to synchronize …

The scientific study of networks-computer, social, and biological-has received an enormous
amount of interest in recent years. However, the network approach has been applied to the …

Abstract Formulations of the Image Decomposition Problem as a Multicut Problem (MP) wrt a
superpixel graph have received considerable attention. In contrast, instances of the MP wrt a …

The dichotomy between vocal learners and non-learners is a fundamental distinction in the
study of animal communication. Male zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) are vocal learners …

Coordination is a fundamental aspect of social living, underlying processes ranging from the
maintenance of group cohesion to the avoidance of competition. Coordination can manifest …

In this perspective paper, we focus on the study of synchronization abilities across the
animal kingdom. We propose an ecological approach to studying nonhuman animal …

Acoustic insects usually sing amidst conspecifics, thereby creating a social environment—
the chorus—in which individuals communicate, find mates, and avoid predation. A temporal …

Synchronization is widespread in animals, and studies have often emphasized how this
seemingly complex phenomenon can emerge from very simple rules. However, the amount …

We employ a mathematical model (a phase oscillator model) to describe the deterministic
and stochastic features of frog choruses in which male frogs attempt to avoid call overlaps …
