Explaining the origins of language is a key challenge in understanding ourselves as a species. We present an empirical framework that draws on synergies across fields to facilitate robust studies of l...

New videos reveal the surprising dynamics of bat-rat relationships—and suggest how human activity is fueling these interspecies conflicts.

Knörnschild et al. reveal that greater sac-winged bats can detect inconsistencies in sensory information for individual recognition. Playback experiments show that bats ignore distress calls from visi...

A new study found the world’s largest carnivorous bat is more social than previously thought. Commonly known as greater false vampire bats, this rare species was observed hunting and playing together ...

In the darkness of old church attics, surprisingly romantic scenes take place as male greater mouse-eared bats (Myotis myotis), the largest native bat species in Europe, compete for the attention of f...

Last night, I got to stand up in front of the audience at the Locus Awards ceremony. I wound up presenting the Locus Award for Best Short Story (congratulations, Isabel J. Kim!) – but first, I deliver...

Lucrative prizes are offered for an AI-powered breakthrough in communications between humans and other species.

Dolittle Prize recognizes breakthroughs in translating “speech” of dolphins, cuttlefish, and other creatures

The social complexity hypothesis argues that communicative complexity arises as a result of social complexity, with this occurring through mechanisms including plasticity and selection. Most research to date has focused on ultimate drivers of repertoire ...
